What Are You Reading?

I would think that the Tiger's muzzle blast would cause some serious injury if not death to that courageous jeep driver. That historical documentary implies otherwise.

 

I had just finished spruiking one of my favourite books to a mate at work and thought though ive posted this before, why not again...

Doomfarers of Coramonde


Blurb: MISSION to HELL - Just yesterday, Sergeant Gil MacDonald and his APC crew had been fending off an ambush in a Viet Nam jungle. In the middle of the firefight, some kind of magic spell had transported them to this Fantasy Land complete with flying dragons, wizards, crazy castles, and dispossessed princes.They would stay trapped here forever unless they could rescue the sorceress Gabrielle. Master magician, Amon, held her captive in his palace; and to reach her, Gil and his men would have to infiltrate Hell itself!

 

Finished Colburn's Diary of a Common Footsoldier.

MOUNT UP!: One Cavalryman's World War II Diary: Europe & Beyond by Gough. Gough started out as a cavalry trooper at Fort Riley, KS and because of his mechanical aptitude transitioned from "horsey" to "greasy" (mechanized). He fought as in Europe as a member of the 17th Cavalry Squadron, 15th Cavalry Group.

 

Mined Where You Walk

 

The Rifle 2.

 

Put down Lovat's book for Gill's Armageddon in the Arctic Ocean. Most of it is about his experience growing up during the Great Depression (which I look for in books by WW II veterans).

 

Most Honorable Son by Gregg Jones.

 

Off WW II topic. Digging All Night and Fighting All Day: The Civil War Siege of Spanish Fort by Paul Brueske.

Sat outside and read the first 50 pages yesterday. Otherwise it's cutting/hauling/stacking wood and git'n dirty and sweaty. Great book so far but it needs more MAPs.
