    I really enjoyed it. It was an interesting time in history and an amazing time in aviation, a subject dear to my heart.

    A worthwhile second in the series.

    Yes I'm on a Bill Bryson binge and I've only just put a small dent (3) in his book list.

    The latest Reacher novel, Lee Child, no pretense at all. Pure escapism. Make Me.

    btw, Cruise as Reacher is the worst casting ever that i'm aware of. I don't even want to see the movie. Guess I'll get over it eventually.

    I am in the middle of the thirf New Corbuzon novel by China Mieville: The Iron Council.

    One has to give to him certainly a rich creation of interesting lifefroms as well as the ability to spin a good yarn of convoluted plotlines.
