Book

[Guppy35]

Battle cruiser by Douglas Reeman.  Novel about a Royal Navy Battle cruiser during WW2. 
Warbirds by Richard Herman.  Novel about F4 Phantom crews.
Hurricanes over Murmansk by John Golley.  A nice book on a little known bit of RAF history where a Hurricane Wing flew in defense of Murmansk in Russia early in WW2.

Usually have at least one book going all the time.  The one just before these three was:

The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession, and Death on Mount Everest by  Mark Synott.  The mystery over whether George Mallory and Sandy Irvine made it to the top of Everest in 1924 fascinates me.  Mallory was the big brother of Trefford Leigh Mallory who had 12 Group during the B of B and later took charge of Fighter Command.  He was then appointed CO of the RAF in the SEAC only to die in a plane crash in the Alps on the way. George had survived the trenches of WW1.

Reread "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller... Hilarious

I highly recommend "Piercing the Reich," which covers the actions (and antics) of the OSS in London during WWII.  It can be a little tedious when describing the necessity to obtain different papers for photo IDs for different countries, acquiring different types of ink, and so forth, but it's a well written book, both entertaining and educational.

That does sound like something I would enjoy. These days I don't have a lot of time or energy for reading. I'm up at 5am and usually don't get home until 5pm (at the eraliet) and up to 8pm sometimes.

When I get home I usually have enough energy to wash my pretty face and go to bed. lol.

Well, I'll save you the effort, then.  We won.

Recently read Great Expections.  Wasn't as good as I thought it'd be.

That’s because it’s a book about a spoilt man who still gets a happy ending.

"On Quaternions and Octonions," so "I could keep up with my nephew who may go to Oxford for his PhD. I don't really think this book is worth a recommendation.

Not sure why someone might deny themselves a good novel.  Mark Twain said, "The man who can read fine literature and won't has no advantage over the man who can't."

Besides, I can't imagine a life that didn't include Steinbeck, Faulkner, Hemingway, Twain, Dickens, Kafka, Orwell, Golding, et al.  Or, for that matter, Zane Grey, ERB, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert, and those guys.

Still, I know judges, attorneys, doctors, and so forth who do so much technical reading on the job that 'recreational reading' is not in their vocabulary.
