Naming Jack The Ripper. Not sure on whether this really gives the answer, but its good to read up on this intriguing case and reacquainting myself with the facts for the first time in about 30-years.

Let me know what you think of it when you are done. Because if you like it all I will put it on my buy list. Does it have good descriptions of the area where all this happened? Might be time to read up on this again. The nightmares from the last time are almost gone. [;)]

'Arthur Rex' by Thomas Berger and 'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. Doing a bit of rereading my all time favorites from my younger days.

Will finish off the last few pages of Naming Jack the Ripper today and then it's on to "The Book Thief". Not my usual read but my elder cruiser asked me to give it a go. On the basis that she had just agreed to read Beevor's The Second World War, I could not really say no [:)]

The world needs to know. [;)][:D]

"Vulcan 607", a wonderful story which I had never heard of until I read about it on this forum. Reading this story of the grit of real military operations is a wonderful supplement to the ease of moving a counter across a map. Before "Vulcan 607" I finished four fine books by Alastair Reynolds. "The Prefect", "Revelation Space", "Redemption Ark", and Absolution Gap". All are set in the same SF Universe, with "The Prefect" being an excellent stand alone story, and the other three interconnected in a 2,100 page series. Reynolds is a inactive scientist, an astronomer, now dedicated to science fiction. He writes hard SF space operas, without FTL, a tricky thing to do. I really like his work, and there are more I will be reading. All five of the books are excellent reading, and then some. Chuck

The Book Thief is a very strange book [X(]

Jeffrey H. -> RE: What Book Are You Reading at the moment? (10/2/2014 6:58:40 PM)
Just finished "The Hot Zone" timely and seriously concerning. 'Bout 2/3rds the way through "The Outpost" turning out the way I expected...sadly.

It is narrated by Death but that is the not the strange thing - its more the writing style that death uses, peppering the book with clues as to what is coming next. It's interesting though - one I will continue reading.

Just finished "Lost Victories" by Erich Von Manstein. A fascinating read allowing you a glimpse into the mind of a military genius. Few people throughout history have had the tactical, operational, and strategic mind as Manstein. A pleasurable read.

Black Hawk Down - for some reason it doesn't have any maps. Which makes it a rather confusing read. A History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages: Volume Two.
