I guess it's my turn to start one. I'm almost finished with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7). I thoroughly enjoyed these books and will read them again some time. Now to watch the movies over the Holiday vacation days.

Just started America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't by Stephen Colbert. I mostly like Colbert's approach to humor, so I hope to enjoy this book.

I went back in time to Red Phoenix by Larry Bond. Saw it for Kindle and one clicked it. I forgot what a good storyteller Bond used to be.

"Castles of Steel" by Robert K. Massie. I just started reading this today.
It's essentially a history of the naval arms race between Britain and Germany leading up to WW I and the subsequent naval engagements.

"When Penguins Flew and Water Burned" by Jim Clonts. A memoir by a B-52 Navigator.
After that either:
"Outlaw Platoon" by Sean Parnell, John Bruning
or
"The Ravens: The True Story of a Secret War" by Christopher Robbins
or
"The Mammoth Book of Fighter Pilots" by Jon E. Lewis
Have all the books on my phone, just haven't decided the order in which to read them.
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

It's essentially a history of the naval arms race between Britain and Germany leading up to WW I and the subsequent naval engagements. How are you enjoying it? I have a respectable WWI library but I still haven't jumped into that one yet. And is Castles of Steel the book that follows or precedes his book Dreadnought? I have Massie's book about Peter the Great and it is astoundingly good.
Question everything!

I have Massie's book about Peter the Great and it is astoundingly good. Castles of Steel is the book that comes after Dreadnought, and IMO it is a wonderful book. I'm currently reading: The First Air War, 1914-1918 by Lee Kennett and Command and Control on the Western Front; The British Army's Experience 1914-18. Edited by Gary Sheffield and Dan Todman. Both seem very interesting so far. The First Air War (I'm only up to chapter 3) is going into great detail about things not usually discussed much - the current chapter is all about observation balloons.
