    I read everything from sports biographies to Dickens. I've started to take more of an interest in English history and world war 2 as both my Grandfathers fought in WW2.
    I am also interested in other countries and their people,their lives etc.So a bit of everything really.How about you?




    It is interesting our History books on WWII do not mention the activity in Finnish waters and yet there were Naval battles.
    My English cousins husband was a Navy man during WWII and that is where he served. My other English cousin served under Mongomery. He was there before Monty and after.
    The US History books cover Eisenhower and Patton in the African campaign, but hardly anything about the Brits.

    I did go into a bookstore when I visited the UK in 1994 and asked for books about the US Revolution and the War of 1812. The person just said we don't carry any. I thought someone whould have written something, because one of my favorite US Civil War books is written by GF Henderson a British Colonel.
