I'm just finishing "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. I've been listening to the audiobook (which is fabulous by the way...narrated by Bryan Cranston) and going back to read the parts in print that I find particularly interesting.
If anyone has another Vietnam book I would love the recommendation. I love the super dark, realism and grittiness of the war. If you ever want to read this book, I actually really recommend the audiobook. Having a recognizable actor read it seems to make it much more potent.

Absolutely LOVE this book. Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong still haunts me - the "necklace" (I won't spoil the book by describing it) is a really unnerving detail. Cranston seems like the perfect voice for this.
Don't know about Vietnam recommendations, but my favorite war books (other than this) are James Jones' The Thin Red Line, and Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels (favorite novel on the Civil War) and OF COURSE Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.
I'm still reading Ill Will. Very dark, very good.

But she suspected that most of these stories would fall apart under strict examination--that, in fact, we were only peeping through a keyhole of our lives, and the majority of the truth, the reality of what happened to us, was hidden. Memories were no more solid than dreams." - Dan Chaon, Ill Will

I was really going to come back to a novel this time, but my favourite bookshop has had the devilish idea of putting the History section in between the entrance and the fiction section.
Long story short, I walked out with: "The Divan of Istanbul" (approximate translation, in turkish, the "divan" is the informal assembly of ottoman ministers. The word exists in this sense in french, but I don't think it's been kept in english) and "Charlemagne: Father of a Continent", both by Alessandro Barbero. I highly recommend both.

The adventures of George after being submitted to animal testing, dealing with his eventual escape and calculated revenge upon the man in the big yellow hat and all his friends and family. not for the faint of heart.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

'The Psychopath Test' by Jon Ronson. Really disappointed that I've now read all the books he has written because I find them facinating.

Yeah that was my favorite part of the book. Mary Anne Bell and her necklace of tongues. I feel like that part alone should be made into a movie. After I listened to it, I went back and read it in print again.

Just finished The Lewis Trilogy by Peter May. Damn good reads.
I'm just finishing up:
David Benioff is one of the creators and showrunners for Game of Thrones. As it turns out, he's a damn pretty good writer as well.
City of Thieves is loosely based on the experiences of his grandfather who was a teenager during the Siege of Leningrad in WW2. As per usual, I'm also listening to the audiobook (which is narrated by Ron Pearlman as well. Pearlman does a decent Russian accent, as per his performance in "Enemy at the Gates."
If you have any interest in WW2 and in particular, the Russian experience on the Eastern front then I completely recommend this book. I will also be waiting for the movie version since I think that the Siege of Leningrad has been somewhat absent in Hollywood productions.
There are a few disturbing scenes, but I found those to be the most engaging of the entire book. If you can handle mass starvation, cannibalism, executions and a young girl having her feet sawed off.... Then this is the feel good book you have been waiting for!
9/10

Lucky I wasn't there. I would have said something sweet, and offered to comb out your hair, in spite of what you signature says.
That is a good book BTW. I also like Emily Dickinson.
Right now I am reading a new "History of France."

You've read ' One Hundred Strokes of the Brush' ? Yes, it is a good collection, I am taken by the very short poems, some are quite amusing :) A new 'History of France ', was there something wrong with the old one ?

You changed your signature line, so I can't explain the first part without it Melissa.
Yes, the poems were fun.
Books on the 'History of France' had not been written for decades until the one I am reading.
I am only up to Eleanor of Acquitaine and Henry II.
