King Street Loon Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 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. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 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. Link to comment

Quagmire Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 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. Link to comment
BWG Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Reading "Ready Player One" just now and really enjoying it. Loads of nostalgic nerdom. Film adaptation also coming next year. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 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. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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. Link to comment
