Man, im tired of books about war.
Go read some Colin Forbes instead, thats much better.

Just finished reading Nelson, The Man & The Legend. Terry Coleman

I highly recommend Eames or anyone else interested in military command & stuff to read this as honour & glory & leadership= Nelson. "Glory is my object & that alone."
I think you chaps might like this guy because, basically, he was a nutcase... He actually broke his ship off from his Commanders line of battle formation & attacked an enemy fleet all by himself. oOo: The difference is though, he won ed:

I'm also reading a book about the Crusades but brought another huge book about the entire Middle Ages & now I'm reading that.

Im writing a book now. It kind of like Catcher in the Rye except the kid isnt so whiny. The main character is insane and his best friend is imaginary which he of course doesnt know, but he knows hes not right in the head. He hates his mother because shes crazy and she doesnt know it, so he decides to find his father with his imaginary friend. Its somewhat based on my life.

Ivanhoe

The epitome of the chivalric novel, Ivanhoe sweeps readers into Medieval England and the lives of a memorable cast of characters. Ivanhoe, a trusted ally of Richard-the-Lion-Hearted, returns from the Crusades to reclaim the inheritance his father denied him. Rebecca, a vibrant, beautiful Jewish woman is defended by Ivanhoe against a charge of witchcraft--but it is Lady Rowena who is Ivanhoe's true love. The wicked Prince John plots to usurp England's throne, but two of the most popular heroes in all of English literature, Richard-the-Lion-Hearted and the well-loved famous outlaw, Robin Hood, team up to defeat the Normans and reagain the castle. The success of this novel lies with Scott's skillful blend of historic reality, chivalric romance, and high adventure.
