Guest ROOSTER Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Dont really have a preferred author as such, a book has to reach out and grab me........but some I have enjoyed are J Sven Hassel yes WILF some of his stuff is good the earlier stuff been the best(legion of the damned)although their is a lot that say his stuff was written by his wife and that hassel was not in a panzer regiment, he was a dane and called pederson before taking his mothers surname, he was in prison where some reckon he got the information about various battles from members of a panzer crew who where in the same prison a bit like brian plummer really.

Guest WILF Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Agree with you Rooster, Hassell writes a good yarn......it entertaining and thats all. Not to be taken as fact........ Stabs, if you like stuff about the wermacht campaign in the east, then a very good factual book is by a fella called Gottelob Herbert Biederman........excellent book.........the title escapes me at the moment, but I will dig it out.

Tiff 36 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Stupid white men by Michael Moore is an informative look into todays America. right wing liberal whacko James Herriot and Laura Ingalls Wilder are my two all time favorite authors who I could read over and over Phillip Pullman who wrote His Dark Materials trilogy, including The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. Listened to them on CD when driving 2,600 miles 6 times in 3 weeks when we moved to Missouri, they were great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
