well Red Victory is about the Russian Civil War
it's fairly interesting.

Jonathon Strange I have been struggling to read for about 6 months. So I'm officially giving up. It's beaten me.

Good luck with the next one
books should always be a pleasure, never a chore.

That is true,
but there are plenty of dry academic books I have had to trawl through that were no fun at all!

I've mailed the newsletter
will take suggestions as to reading material, or just take dictatorial action, and then get an MSN group set up or something.
I don't know, I've just done this on a drunken whim. I'll sort the details out as I go along. People seem to like the idea, though.
Good to have you on board.

It's not as good as say, Moby Dick
but it's an enjoyable read, a little long, could do with some better editing, but still interesting.
