I read Star Wars Catalyst. Shite book really but it did make me have a bit more appreciation for the characters in Rogue 1.

It wasn't shite, but it wasn't great either. But agree you have a better appreciation for the film.

I'm now reading the film novelization after i received it for Christmas.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L Shirer. Third time reading it, so detailed and involved that I'm sure I'll need another reading. Inherited a first edition, no idea if it's worth fuck all, doubt it though.

Read my old man's copy twice.

Great read.

She might have got a quick spray tan done before the photos. That's just careless.

finished it this afternoon.

A very, very good read and knowing the man as I do, just compounds the sacrifices he's put himself through and the punishment he's put his body through.

A shell of the man he once was all for running.

Black Widow - Chris Brookmyre

The Iceman - Anthony Bruno. Brutal cunt was the Iceman.

Behold a pale horse by William Cooper cracking read real eye opener

[Quagmire]

Sebastian Bach's autobiography. Follows the same formula as any other late 80's/90s metaller. Fuckin love it. Although big Seb's a bit of poof when it comes to the broon compared to Slash, Steve Adler and the Motley Crue loons. Also loses credibility for not being able to pork a very young Christina Applegate, who's at the height of her fame in Married With Children, cos he's got a wife and kid back in the states. Halfway through so still time to redeem himself.

Reading "Ready Player One" just now and really enjoying it. Loads of nostalgic nerdom. Film adaptation also coming next year.

I just read that last week after it was recommended to me by an ex work colleague. Plenty of 80's, 90's geekiness.

Aye. Heard mixed things about Armada which is the authors second novel. Read that?

No, not yet. I probably will at some point. I think it's got similar retro feel to it with plenty of references etc. No idea what it's about though.

I recently read "Team Yankee", which is about-company level mechanised warfare in a 1980s WW3 (Soviets attack western europe).

 

I read it years ago, in the early 90s (I think), and enjoyed just as much this time.

 

There are not many books which deal with modern symmetrical combat, which makes it all the more interesting. The guy who wrote it was a serving US Tank officer. Its particularly interesting to see how he portrays Soviet Tanks matching up to the US Abrams (which had a 105mm gun back then, now up-gunned to 120mm).

 

No spoilers, but the story / scenario is probably a bit rose-tinted but still a good read anyway.

I read this a few years ago, I thought it was one of the worst things I'd ever read, like bad Apple fan fiction

Started that last night.
