recently read:
If Chins Could Kill - Confessions of a b-movie actor, autobiography of
Bruce Campbell, the ultimate B-movie star
Really funny and full of great anecdotes. If you liked the Evil Dead films this is well worth reading.
Overlord by
Max Hastings. WWII history about the D-day invasion and subsequent struggle for the breakout into France in 1944. I read his book Armageddon about the final battle for Germany which I found a gripping read. WWII has always fascinated me enormously and Hastings manages to bring it to life in vivid detail, all the way from the big strategic overview to the personal experiences of the people on the ground, while at the same time challenging a lot of the preconceived notions about it.
I've now started in
Nemesis, his book about the war in the Pacific against Japan. This one is even bigger than the other two books so it will take me a while I think...
Also I just got part 3 of the
Discworld series for my birthday so I'll start that pretty soon as well
