I’m currently reading a book called Shoeless Joe which is the book that inspired Field of Dreams. As a big baseball fan it was a must read for me, plus I wasn’t aware it was based on a book until a few years ago.
I finished the Little House books. Always wanted to read them and found them at a flea market. My grandmother loved the show and as a kid I didn’t care about it but as an adult I love it. Always at least a few episodes in my DVR.
The Emperors Men currently. The Carpet Makers, Storm of Steel and Slaughterhouse Five before that.
Storm of Steel is a book I can wholeheartedly recommend anyone who wants to get a glimpse into how utterly insane trench warfare in WW1 was. Sitting in the trenches all day long while artillery regularly rains down on you until either you or the enemy starts an offensive where the frontline shifts maybe by a couple hundred meters in one direction only to shift into the opposite direction the following weeks. Repeat that for 4 years and you have WW1. Complete insanity.
Sounds very interesting. Always wanted to read up on WW1 more. I have only read Company K. Actually bought slaughterhouse 5 at a comic book store Saturday.
I went in expecting Slaughterhouse Five to go into detail about the Dresden bombing but unfortunately it plays a background role in the story. The book itself was fine but if it had been any longer I might not have finished it to be honest. It's a bit weird.
This Manga is WW1 themed With some magic & stuff included. Ignore the "genderswap" part it's really trivial. Graphic gore and violence warning, like WW1 really was. Brutal and ugly but a compelling story.
