Lots of interesting stuff upstream, I've read lots of WW2 stuff, If your into that try Stalingrad and Berlin both by Antony beevor. Bad stuff happens in war, I hope to continue to avoid it.
We have visited Verdun twice, once in the Cougar. The local Ford dealer there changed the alty for me the first time it failed.
We returned a few years later to do the stuff we missed.
Spent this Covid year reading through my library and reading stuff I've read before. Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake is one finished for maybe the 4th time . Not long finished the Phillip Pullman trilogy, for the 3rd time, still fascinating concepts.
Easier reading than Ghormanghast but similar fantasy worlds, Robin Hobb has written at least 3 trilogy’s that can be read stand alone but ideally in sequence, they are on the book shelf by my Knee as I write, I’ll enjoy them all again.
Also not long finished reading Hidden Faces by Salvador Dali, I believe his only work of fiction set in France just before WW2, that for the second time. Its now destined for the charity shop didn't do much for me first time when I read it as a 20 year old. Def not one I’d recommend.
For some easy reading just started the Harry Potter books, probably 10 years or more since I last read them, I never did get as far as the last couple so maybe this time...
Yes I do read a fair bit
Whats the Auschwitz book called Mako ? I know of that happening and the book is on my must do list.
shot down on the french/german border and eventually found themselves in the RAF flying a wellington bomber, ironically this german shepherd used to fly with him on sorties over germany and was awarded many medals for bravery and saving lives when german bombers rained their destruction here..
