Storm of Steel: Ernst Junger. Fantastic WWI book, drawn from his diary, vivid descriptions of his experiences. I find it bizarre that I only heard of this book a few months ago while "all quiet on the western front" is everywhere even though it's a fictional novel written by someone who saw far less action than Junger.
For God, Country and Cola-Cola. It takes me forever to read books because I waste so much time on the computer or at uni. :(
Just finished reading Our man in Havana by Graham Greene (bestest spy novel ever) and Robots and Empire by Isaac Asimov. Not sure yet what I'm going to read next.
What hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America 1815-1848 by Daniel Walker Howe
I recomend it if you are about to spend a lengthy bout in prison
There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carre. Dark and gritty.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Hajo Holborn--A history of Modern Germany (reformation up to 1945). Excellent book. Huge time frame to cover, but it's really nice to get the whole thing in a continuous telling.
Wish I could find something like this for the other major European countries.
