I am really loving this book. So many golden nuggets to be found. I love the comment on Hitler's order for what ammunition should be prioritised for the attack on France........

I loved it too... after a crash course in basic economics [:D]. Seriously, one of the best books I read about WW2.

Philip and Alexander: Kings and Conquerors, by Adrian Goldsworthy (608 pages)
Noted Roman historian Goldsworthy takes on Alexander the Great and his underrated father.

Made a start of Wages of Destruction (Tooze). Reading the introduction at the moment and I think its fair to say that this book will take some time to get through. The economics are difficult to follow, but the book appears to be written as though one has a degree in the subject.

All I know about the Gold Standard is this.....

Finally finished the book. A very interesting read - and nice to see the author not giving Speer the easy ride he often gets.

Book of Revelation, King James Bible, of course.

The "tough" one. So can i ask you around it?
Probably not considering the forum rules regarding topics about religion and politics.
Poly-tics, many bloodsuckers.

Edit: Yes, and i ment "around" it now and not about it, but case closed. I guess.

Well Taranto is out of stock? Even though I pre-ordered it????

So following on from Wages of Destruction and the references to the V1 and V2, I thought I would give Target London another go. I've tried twice previously to finish this book and failed as something else seemed to come along.... third time lucky?

...and even worse, Taranto won't be delivered until February 2021..... Oh well that's one less Christmas pressie to open on Christmas Day [:(] I hope that wasn't the only one....[;)]

Well, if you want to open it on Christmas Day, all that you have to do is wait for this Christmas and the next one to pass then open it on Christmas Day in December 2021. Depending upon when you do receive it, you could open it as a Valentine's Day present and thank your better half [X(] or whenever your anniversary is . . . [X(]

"Phantom" by Thomas Tessier, a good and very underrated horror writer (and an underrated writer in a general sense). His "The Fates" was like an early John Carpenter's movie on paper. This one is about a boy's night terrors that can or maybe cannot be the symptom of a neurological disorder. What if the "things you know are in the dark" when you are a kid are there for real? Tessier's ability to look at the World like a 7 years old could is really remarkable...

Well then, I guess that they have to let it cool so it won't catch on fire . . .
