Ive just started Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell, really unsure so far, it 10% garbage and 90% Merica **** yeah. Ill see it out but I'm not holding out much hopefor enjoying it.
Finished this, and what a insightful book it was. What he and many of POW's went through whilst at the hands of the Japanese is just horrendous. His time after the war was not quite so interesting, but still a great book to read. Looking forward to the film that they've made about him, and I hope they don't tone back the violence and treatment experienced in the camps.Just finished Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. The remarkable story of Louis Zamperini; Olympic athlete and then Japanese prisoner of war.
I read "The mote in gods eye" by Niven and Pournelle over the last week or so, which I'm sure I've read before but can't quite remember (I kept half remembering bits, and they're both authors whose work I've read a lot of in the past), it was a good read
I'm currently reading the second of the "motie" books "The gripping hand", which again is ringing a bell, but I can't place it
I suspect I may have read them 10-15 or so years ago which would explain the vague feeling of having read them before.
