Just picked up D-Day by Ambrose in WHSmiths: £5 in hardback 

Also got Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide: £5 in hardback as well (that one's for Isaac [7], honest  )

Reading "D-Day with the Screaming Eagles" by George Koskimaki.  It's pretty good, lot of personal stuff, a lot like Ambrose's works in that it's a collection of stories thrown together into a single narrative to tell the story.  I'm through the lead-up/training, the drop itself, and almost finished with actions on 6 June 1944.

Don't know if this counts, but currently listening to the complete unabridged and annotated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings (10 and 57 discs respectively) on my cd system while I sit painting a heap of metal.

That definitely counts and shows very good taste    A HOTT army by any chance?

I`m torn between using HOTT2 and my own LotR rules system at the moment

If anybody is interested in WW-2 Naval warfare be sure to read 'Last stand of the Tin Can Sailors' about the USN/IJN at the battle off Samar in october '44.
The story about Taffy 3 during the naval engagement around the Phillipines is absolutely breathtaking. Personal, bloody and accurate; one of the best books I've read in years!

Cheers,

Sister-in-law gave me Game of Thrones by George R R Martin for my birthday. I've never watched the TV series so it comes as completely fresh. Not as truly dreadful as I expected, but I still can't make heads or tails of the maps after a week's trying.

Warhammer Historicals' 'Age of Arthur' which is extremely good .

Just finished 'Alexandra' (again).....Now on listening to Lustrum by Robert Harris. (Well, I AM about to start on the Imperial Romans, so these are slightly relevant....at least they have got 'Romans' in them. )

Halfway through Rome's Fallen Eagle by Robert Fabbri, part of another series based on an historical personage as action hero. This time it's Vespasian. I have to say that this is one of the better ones - almost up to Conn Igulden's standard. And there are at least three more books in the series.

Techno,
Maybe Rosemary Sutcliffe's 'Eagle of The Nineth' may be more apt as you do them and finish the Picts!
