Good stuff if your'e into historical Rome battles..one of a series
Having finished my Patrick Leigh Fermor trilogy, I've turned to something completely different and am reading Q by Luther Blissett.
It's a bit of heavyweight book - in every sense - but am learning lots about the reformation movement in Germany.
I enjoyed the first 2 Patrick Leigh Fermor books. How does the third compare?
Took me a long time to pick it up and start reading but, once I did, I devoured it ! Really good and back to his best. May I suggest either "The Stand" or "The Talisman" which he wrote in conjunction with Peter Straub (who is also worth checking out)My first ever Stephen King book... I am ashamed to say

Bloody marvellous so far
Haven't started it yet: I've been saving it for my Christmas treat. A few days off work, some booze and can curl up with a good book.
I'm still ploughing my way through the Luther Blissett one first.
I like non-fiction, in particular Military History so the current book I am reading Tommy: The British Soldier on the Western Front 1914-1918 is proving to be superb. Not really a History of the First World War but rather the experience of those in the Trenches. Richard Holmes was a brilliant Military Historian but my goodness he could also write.
I'm reading Look Who's Back which is about Hitler waking up in modern Germany having not snuffed it at the end of WWII and his re-emergence. Well written.
