This is a most excellent book on the Battle of the Bulge. This book is greatly detailed with an excellent narrative which makes it very readable.
It was a most excellent book and I recommend it highly.

It's funny and screwy. I'm a little over halfway through it.

I sponsored the kickstarter and opted to get all 9 books. I'm hoping they put out a book 10 this year. All of the stories are quite good.

What book are you reading?
I'm going through my son's childhood books and found "The Family Under the Bridge" by Natalie Savage Carlson.

I’m sure, like me, some books seem to define you and merge into your soul. Night by Elie Wiesel is seared into my memory. Winnie the Pooh is my downy security blanket.
Where is your favorite place to savor a good book?

Folklore read live!
On a dock, hull aflame,
sits a galleon due for hell.
On the shore, cruel lords
Cower from its departing knell.
Hear a vengeful folklore classic tonight @ 6:30 pm PST/9:30 pm EST: https://youtube.com/live/661r85LkCDY

As a change from the norm, today's Spotify choice is Sabaton, and whatever Spotify recommends after an album finishes.
