What are you reading? thread 20:20 - Dec 7 with 11407 viewsC_jack

Surprised this hasn't made the transition over.

I'll start, storming through 'Do The Birds Still Sing In Hell?' at the moment, a story about a POW in WW2 who escaped (and returned) over 200 times to have an affair with a German interpretor. Slight love story combined with a harrowing account of POW life.

Heard both positive/negative reviews but am enjoying it at the moment.

Post yours!

'After Tamerlane - The Rise and Fall of Global Empires, 1400-2000' by John Darwin.

I used to mock world/global histories, but find them quite refreshing nowadays. Along similar lines I have Chris Bayly's 'The Birth of the Modern World' waiting in the wings.

Also read the evening post for a laff.

Enjoying the next level

Robert Rankin's Brentford Trilogy.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Just finished reading Robert Leckie's account of the Battle of Okinawa. Scary stuff. Tempted to finally start working through Winston Churchill's complete History of WW2.

I'm currently reading (for the 2nd time) after a good few years, 'The Smartest Guys in the Room', the story of Enron. Fantastic real life page turner and just goes to show how corrupt corporations can be.

I'm also on the 1st few pages of the Phils's Trust book, to early yet to give a view, just read Sir Huw's forward, thus far.

Barrow's boys by Fergus Fleming a great read highlighting the lunacy of the Empire at it's height of power.

Just finished Killing the Dragon the conquest of the Alps also by Fleming also a good read for anyone interested in climbing or the great outdoors.

I wrote a paper on Pelagius many moons ago. The First Protestant. Fascinating period in history, a courageous man.

Are you studying him, Shaky, or just broadening the old mental horizon?

I have been interested in the history of the church for some time. In particular I'd like to understand how the teachings of Christ evolved into established church doctrine. A tall order I know, but at the same time seek and you shall find and all that.

I'd be interested to read you paper, Loh. Have you got it electronically?

No, unfortunately. It was years ago and like a lot of things has either been lost or thrown out, I think. If I do come across it in a box up the attic or somewhere I'll let you know. I don't imagine it contained anything strikingly original, I'm sorry to say. I recall being quite taken with him so it would read like some starry-eyed hagiograph.
