The Righteous - The Unsung Heroes of the Holocaust

Book studies those who hid Jews during WWII, very moving. Shows the very best and the very worst of human nature.

The Metropolis
Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths Around Brighton. Not spectacularly well written but with some splendid trivia that makes the murders come to life, so to speak.

About to start You Cannot Live as I Have and Not End Up Like This which is about the chap who did the Henry Root Letters.

you see, it is ENGLISH literature, in which you study english books, not Russian ones.

I'm reading Roy Keane's autobiography which I picked up for 50p in a charity shop just before Christmas. It's actually a really good read.

I got Richard Hammond and Marcus Trescothick's autobiographies for Christmas which I will read next followed by a biography of Terry-Thomas which I got for my birthday yesterday.

That lot should take care of January's reading requirements for my journey into and out of London Bridge every day.

Barnsley
Berlin 1945: The Downfall by Anthony Beever.

Very good, well written yet historically accurate (rather than the increasing amount of cheap 'history channel' style books that are now available), yet shocking too.
