City of Thieves

You know what it takes to get me to read a novel....this one was interesting enough. ;)  The fact that the author used The 900 Days to research for his writing, and I haven't *quite* managed to finish it yet no doubt had something to do with my finding this one interesting.  250-some pages is easier reading than a million or so. ;)

Voices of War

I enjoyed this book very much, although it seems odd to say that about a book filled with war stories.  None of the stories were very graphic, though, and most were about the getting to war, or waiting for something to happen, or avoiding getting hit, than about the actual fighting.  Stories from WW1 and WW2, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War.

Holocaust Forgotten

A short, but interesting look at the five million "other" victims of Hitler's reign of terror.

Ghost Stories!

Interesting stories....didn't really like the author's style, but it was still readable.  Nicely scary - especially when I had to go outside during my reading! ;)
