Book, what is a book?

Seriously I do not have enough time to fit in any of my other passions, let alone read a book.  I have to say though that is really is a sad state of affairs, and I do miss reading.

If you are into fantasy books, I highly recommend "The Magician" or anything else by Raymond E. Feist.  Also recommend anything by David Eddings or Terry Brooks.

Ian.

Reading The Man In The High Castle by Philip K. Dick - again.
This is about the 12th time.
Wish they would make more of Dick's books like this one into films rather than bastardising short stories and novels into the utter ***** that Hollywood ends up making of them.
Screamers , Total Recall , Minority Report - utter crap.
A Scanner Darkly - passably strange.
Blade Runner - all time classic but bears no resemblence to the book.
Sorry for the rant.
Please continue.

War Without Garlands - by Robert Kershaw.

It's an overview of Hitler’s invasion of Russia starting from before the invasion and finishing at them being halted outside Moscow.

The title comes from the Germans term for the campaign as they received no victory parades or flowers.

Presently reading "Diogenes the Cynic", by Luis E Navia, and finding it very demanding.
Not recommended for anyone without a major in Philosophy.
