Oh!  And just finished Vulcan 607, the true story of the bombing of the Falklands Airport in '82 - a damn good tale!  

There are quite a few good books about this war - look up some of the RN pilots books too!

I don't like fiction...I don't see the point.

Last book I read was Norman Wisdom's autobiography. He's had a hard life.

Just finished reading all the "Sharpe" books by Bernard Cornwell the best one imho is Sharpes Trafalgar, it never made it into the TV series as I imagine it would have been to costly to make but a cracking read and is informative about the peninsular war.

But the book I have read at least a dozen times is Battlefield Earth by L Ron Hubbard. I think it is an amazing read. The film they made of it did the book no justice at all. Hollywood should hang their heads in shame where that was concerned.

I know what you mean, it's like they're just making it up as they go along.

Sven Hassel, he did several books on his 2nd world war times, i think some of them were made into films.

Just finished the 'Dies The Fire' trilogy, and am expecting the first book
in the follow up series, 'The Sunrise Lands', for Christmas.

Well worth a read if you like the genre.
