Right now I started with W.S. Churchill: A History of the English Speaking Peoples.
Very entertaining and even encouraging.

I finished 'Pushing Ice' over the weekend - a very compelling novel (Hard SciFi)
With the holiday reading finished I've moved back to the steady pace of reading books in the order I catalogued them and have started yet another of the Routledge Warfare and History Series
'Indian Wars of Mexico, Canada and the United States 1812-1900' by Bruce Vandervort - thus far a very interesting read
cheers

After 'The Indian Wars of Mexico, Canada and the United States 1812-1900' I slid into another of the Routledge Warfare and History series 'The Balkan Wars 1912-1913 Prelude to the First World War' by Richard C Hall - good, if brief narrative on this conflict and then read 'The Athenian Murders' by Jose Carlos Somoza (I'm not sure about this one)
Right now for some light relief I am reading 'You Talkin to Me: The Diary of an Olympic Cabbie' by Anthony Sharwood - a day by day series of observations during the Sydney Olympics.
Cheers

I've been busy catching up with my reading over the last 3 weeks making my way through the 3rd installment of The Last Templar series by Michael Jecks, and the 21st and 22nd volumes of the adventures of Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro (retired). Simon Scarrow's latest tomes deal with the lead up to the Iceni rebellion, the storming of Camulodunum, the sacking of Londinium ad the encounter at Watling Street. All very exciting stuff.
Cheers,

Possibly not as worthy a research material as other books but I am really enjoying the Marius Mules series.

I've returned to period appropriate reading with the 4th in the Last Templar series by Michael Jecks. Prior to that, I enjoyed reading The Rabbit Hunter by Christopher Worth. It's a fictional account of the Kiwi role in the Greek campaign of WWII.
Cheers,
