Finished last Harry Potter book; it took since the middle of summer to read through the septology, and then view each movie.
...Here for the first time, the most complete backgrounds of the men he (Von Richthofen) fought and accounted for in air battle are documented. In most cases this includes place and dates of birth, where they lived, were educated and worked, and then when they joined the colours. Many served in army regiments or other military units prior to joining the Royal Flying Corps or Royal Naval Air Service and their full service records, where known, are included. The later lives of those who survived the encounter with the Red Baron are also recorded.
The Monuments Men by Robert Edsel.
It's a true story of a US / British Army unit comprised of men and women who were Art Museum curators and the like who were in charge of tracking down art that had been plundered by the Nazi's during their invasion of Europe. Wonderful read and well researched.
Listening to audio books. Complete Sherlock Holmes (this will continue for a long time I think). Also, Some Buried Ceasar by Rex Stout. Copywritten in 1939.
