I have finished the Schiffer pictorials on the German warships.

I am presently reading the book on bookshops, one about German rocket launchers of the Second World War and one of the infrastructure of New York City. Whee!
What are you reading?

Wow, any particular reason why the high interest in military equipment and warfare?
Merry Christmas to you btw :-)
That is a massive amount of books.
How in the world did you find my blog?
I just got "A Farewell to Arms" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" By Hemingway under the Christmas Tree.
Dmarks, I found it on Tim's blog. You had remarked on the Detroit bailout.
I had wondered of the wisdom of rescuing this haemorhagging industry and had noted that it would really not serve American strategic interests to prop them up. Yes, at odds with Tim, the UAW, Obama, I know.
Tim, I have 'For whom the bell tolls' by my bedside. I bought it over twenty years ago but I have not finished it. I have read 'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'Islands in the Stream' more than two decades ago. I'm not much of a fan of Hemmingway's prose and his exaggerated machismo. Heheh. Have you read much Hemmingway?
I've read 3 or 4 Hemingway books, and I was not very impressed. But at least I can say I know Hemingway now.
I live in the territory of the Nick Adams stories.
Shyue Chou- I have read many of Hemingway's short stories about hunting and fishing as well as the "Nick Adams" stories that take place in the northern woods of my state.
I had asked my wife to get me FTTBT for Christmas, and she bought the other book as well.
I confess, I am a fan of the exagerrated machismo! What the hell, kind of like women who read those trashy romance novels.
Another guilty pleasure is that I love to go in used book shops and try to find old Bantam War Books that I have not yet read.
Stuff like Stuka Pilot, Samurai, To Hell and Back. etc.
Even though we disagree on religion and the Big 3 bailout (LOAN! And hey, if you lived here you might feel differently)We both love WWII stuff (BTW- I still have not blogged my WWII aircarft pics from the Smithsonian, watch for it) and old comics. I don't need to think exactly alike on every issue to be friends.
