Currently reading Stephen Ambrose's D-Day.

The last one I read was probably Halo: The fall of Reach which is the prequil to Halo the game. It was a great book. If your interested in the story of the gae, read this book.

Yep, that's what I was referring to. Sting and his significant other practice Tantra, which is defined as:

"...a vast subject that means different things to different people. For most Westerners, the word Tantra implies a more sacred style of sexuality working with improved communication, breath and energy. For those practicing classical Tantra, Tantra means mystical union with the whole reality, of which sexual union is a small, highly rarefied subset to be practiced under the guidance of a qualified spiritual teacher."

Umm...it means you can pop your cork for hours on end.

"See Spot Dick Jane" ....I can't put it down.....if you only read one ...breaks down....

If you want a good war read...try "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer
Very vivid account of life for the Germans on the Eastern Front.

Another excellent "Ambrose style" book on D-Day is "Nothing Less Than Victory" by Russell Miller....highly recommended.....[img]http://www.sector101.fsnet.co.uk/yahoo/smileys/22.gif[/img]

Just finished:
China Mieville - the Scar
James Morrow - Towing Jehova

Now reading:
James Morrow - Blameless in Abandon
Bernard Cornwell - Excalibur

If you want to read some amazingly imaginitive dark science fiction read China Mieville. The Scar is an amazing book, but you would want to read Perdido Street Station first. The guy is amazing, he's only written three books and has already won a handful of awards.
