I just got done reading my bathroom wallpaper. Goddamn boring sh*t. The flowers never have anything interesting to say to the butterflies. They just sit there... flowering.

You have flowers and butterfly wallpaper? Er....okay.......

Had to settle for it. They were out of the mauve colored Stukas dive bombing furry rabbits wallpaper. That palette would have looked lovely on my man-cave walls.

"RAIDER WOLF" The voyage of Captain Nerger, 1916-1918. by Edwin P. Hoyt.

Books I've read lately;

Hirohito And The Making Of Modern Japan - by Herbert P. Bix

- an eye-opener, busting the myth of Hirohito being a "powerless puppet" of the military, and of the myth that Hirohito "benevolently ended" the war. He was rather right in the center of the decision-making process beginning from the "Manchurian incident" right until the end of the war - which he delayed. Also interesting is the occupation period, the manoeuvering of both Japanese and Americans to keep Hirohito uncharged by the Tokyo War Crime Tribunal and to appear being free of any responsibilty for any of the Japanese aggressions. Covers the whole life of this man, from childhood to death, including inthronement of his successor Akihito.

War in the Pacific: End of the Asiatic Fleet and the Classified Report of Admiral Thomas C. Hart - by Thomas C. Hart and Charles Culbertson

- a short report of the actions of the US Asiatic Fleet in the Philippines and during the ABDACOM period.

Currently I am reading The Battle for Singapore by Peter Thompson - the other thread here about Percival and Singapore woke my interest and desire to dig deeper and get some more knowledge about this disaster.
