October Reading

[detop]

Finished Snow Crash a while ago. Although I am not a big fan of cyberpunk, I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed that novel. I a now reading James Holland's The Battle of Britain. I am a third of the way in and the Dunkirk evacuation is just starting, nevertheless I am enjoying it. I think that the author made the right decision by starting in May 1940, rather than june or July as is usually the case. The reader can see how and why crucial decisions were reached and make more sense of the situation. Also, since it has been over 70 years since the events, it serves as a reminder of how, what and why things happened.
