What Book Are You Reading at the moment?

Post by warspite1 »

Patrick Bishop - Target Tirpitz. The story of the British attempts to destroy the German battleship. So far an interesting read - although there is a whole chapter on the Bismarck? [&:] which seems like a bit of a waste...

I am reading bits that take my fancy rather than in order. I have started with the X-craft. Gives me claustrophobia just reading about the midget submarines. Brave, brave men [&o][&o]

The Constitutional Reader from Hillsdale College. I'm taking their Constitution course 101 for free. I think you can still sign up if interested. It's the same course their students are required to take their first semester.

Cain at Gettysburg by Ralph Peters. Along the lines of Killer Angels but from different viewpoints. I'm finding it a very good read.

+1. Good on you,sir. I still pull out my little copy of the Constitution from Hillsdale about once a month and refresh myself on it.
