Reading The Killing Of Reinhard Heydrich , he was the architect of The Final Solution and had to be killed by the Czechs . They paid a high price with the village of Lidice being wiped of the map and all the villages being shot .

I have been to Lidice a couple of times, a new town was built next to the original village which was turned into a memorial garden "Heart Wrenching" it most certainly was.

[Pubey]

Just picked up Atul Gawande's Being Mortal.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoying Nick Hornby's Funny Girl.Good on 60's popular culture.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Just finished Bosworth, a really interesting account of the build-up to the Battle of Bosworth, which wasn't really in Bosworth anyway.

In summary, Richard III was a dick, but very brave in battle, while Henry VII was pretty lucky. Edward IV might have avoided a lot of the bother if he hadn't married some common dame and eaten himself to death.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Functional Programming in Scala.

It's a book that keeps on giving.

"Faster than Lightning" - The Autobiography (so far) of Usian Bolt - I had no idea that 100m was so technical.

 

[Napster]

Solo - the James Bond novel. Loved it. Great addition to the oeuvre. 8/10
The Gun Machine by Warren Ellis - amazing characters, let down by bit of an anticlimax but a good read nonetheless 8/10

Now reading Innocence by Dean Koontz. Love Koontz - so many ideas.
