Having just finished 3 Para, I am now starting To Do or Die by Patrick Mercer. Its Crimeria fiction, I kept looking at in waterstones but it was to expensive for a speculative purchase, it was however half price in Borders.

Just finished 'the Horse Soldiers'by Harold Sinclair and having a second attempt to finish 'Tommy' by Richard Holmes now ive got my courses out of the way for a bit :)

Just reading "Riotous Assemblies: Popular Disturbances in East Anglia 1740-1822" by Paul Muskett and "Bread or Blood, The Agrarian Riots on East Anglia: 1816" by A. J. Peacock. Both easy to read and some of the details about how the rioters armed themselves are quite interesting.

I picked up a copy of Dances in Deep Shadows: The Clandestine War in Russia, 1917-1920, by Michael Occleshaw, which I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dances-Deep-Shadows-Clandestine-1917-1920/dp/1845290038/ref=sr_1_108?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245755200&sr=1-108

Just got my copy of Savory's His Britannic Majesty's Army in Germany in the Seven Years' War, so there is my reading for the next week or so. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Well, once I make inroads into the heap of papers and reports on my office desk that need to be done first... :( :( :(

I'm reading 'His Britannic Majesty's Army in Germany During the Seven Years War' :) and its bloody brilliant. Down with the French!

Hear hear!

Re-reading an old favourite, Shelby L. Staunton, The Rise & Fall of An American Army: U.S. Ground Forces in Vietnam, 1965-1973, Presidio, 1985.

The Eyes & Ears of The Regiment: 67th Field Regiment RA 1939-1946. I picked it up in a charity shop, I only really noticed it because the guy did his basic training in Scarborough. BUt its good, very readable.

Still reading Stephenson's Quicksilver but slightly distracted by also reading Goldsworthy's Fall of Carthage as my interest in things Punic (careful with the spelling there!) is rekindled. And reading Charlie Brookers Screenburn in the attic loo. And the Field of Glory rules... And the latest MW and WI...

"The Road to Marston Moor" by David Cooke is the current bedside reading - it's well written, very extensively researched & fills in a lot of the background on the 1644 Northern campaigns that is missing from older wors. i like it!

Reading Paper Dragon by John Millin Selby about the wars in China during the 19th Century and thinking of new periods to game or make figures for. Also part way through Fusiliers: How the British Army Lost America but Learned to Fight by Mark Urban but needed a change.
