Subject: Books

Guys thanks:)
I watched many movies(don't remember names etc.)But yeah i watched a lot:)I just think none of them were objective movies.All movies say same things.German is bad.Hitler is bad.We kicked his ass.Don't get me wrong.I don't say he is bad or good.

well..
he was bad dude
but the kicking ass part is not that objective... Germany would have "danced" all over Moscow if not for further interfernce from other forces... but trust me, he was crazy and bad.

Yes, but it gets to a point when you already know that, so you get nothing from hearing/reading it one more time, you just want some info on other WW2-related issues :P

Probably specialized/technical books are best in this sense. I mean, if you like airplanes, or tanks, or detailed battle issues, you can find books by other enthusiasts on the matter, who usually don't care much about who was fighting who :P Or even books by actual veterans tend to be more interesting.

+1. Some of them are really great :)

im looking forward to read George Orwell´s book "Homenaje a cataluña", about his real experiencies in spanish civil war

he fough on east front , in POUM milicies, as far as i enjoyed animal farm, i really want to read that one too :)

yesterday i finished Choke by Chuck Palahniuk and started Huxley's Brave new world and next one is The Thought Gang by Tibor fischer
some books i ve read in the last few months:
1984 - orwell
a brief history of future - attali
a short history of nearly everything - bryson

the last one title remebered me that one form Jack london: shor stories of the future" or sth, a recopilation of short stories really interesting

m looking forward to read George Orwell´s book "Homenaje a cataluña"

I've read it, and I bet you won't be disappointed ;)

What's the English title of it?

I read Homage to Catalonia too and liked it. However it does drag a bit at times, definitely not non-stop action. It's more about the actual reality of war which was 90% boredom and frustration. I love Orwell's politics and insights into almost any topic though, so that kept me reading.

Hemingway's book on roughly the same topic is very good. It's fiction though, so very different, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Right now I'm reading The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, which is about the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Very, very good so far. It's not like a typical war history book at all, more like historical fiction.

btw I'm a bit interested whether anyone read any books written by Ryszard Kapuściński? The Emperor, The Soccer War, The Shadow of the Sun, Tavels with Herodotus...?

wow i must remember it next time i go to buy a book, always when im buying some book i forget about it, and i remember it later, like this yestreday in sokker xD

orwells politics, so smart-minded politics imo, never read a book as animal farm ever

That's an amazing book.
