Reading Guderian's biography right now, facinating for those who like that era and alot of detail. Pre war stuff in especially interesting.
AUTO-biography or written by someone else? I've read his Panzer Leader, was good, but he does imho quite intentionally downplay geran atrocities vs alllied ones. Otherwise, a good book for a military history enthusiast.

Tingkai, nah, the Kick him in the teeth is poor translation, what I found out the title is closer to 'hit to the mouth'. It's about this young couple and their trials and tribulations.
Next Run is about sadistic border officials who promise that if this family comes forward they'll get into the country but they were kidnapped by those, they sold them like slaves and threatened them... so that's the Next Run, what's the Next Run going to be..
In da butt.

didnt like that much. I was really looking for a history, not Ackroyds idiosyncratic approach. Never finished it.

I just finished a novel, by whom I forget, Called "The Boys are back in Town"- fantasy. It was interesting.
I just finshed Reading "What is wrong with Kansas" by Thomas Frank- excellent- all liberals need to read it- does a good job at exploring the Conservative backlash.
I will begin the new Stewart textbook.

I just started The Bourne Identity. It's been a really long time since I read a work of fiction, but I must say it's a nice change of pace.
