Re: What are you reading now - and then
And i read Patrick Leigh Fermor's A Time of Gifts and Between The Woods and the water a few years ago. Wonderful writing. Wonder if the trilogy will ever be completed since he is now dead (a manuscript on his computer or in his desk hopefully!)
His other travel books are also great

Re: What are you reading now - and then
Now that's a tough one, but I think that I prefer the liveliness of Keegan to Hart's strictly accurate but rather dry accounts.
Maybe we should take our discussion about the relative merits of military historians offline and into PMs before we bore everyone else rigid!

Re: What are you reading now - and then
Well I am done with the Crimea and am now reading two 9/11 associated books.
"The 9/11 Wars" by Jason Burke - quite possibly the best "from the ground' look at the overall impacts internationally of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. Burke is a reporter for the Observer and Guardian in London (if you have a Kindle you can sample the opening chapters on that). It sits comfortably alongside "The Looming Tower" by Laurence Wright, a majestic study of the birth and rise of al-Queda.
And also a fiction about the creation of a memorial to the 9/11 victims "The Submission" by Amy Waldman.
