I just finished Bernard Cornwell's tenth book in the Last Kingdom series (formerly the Warrior Chronicles, formerly formerly the King Alfred Chronicles), The Flame Bearer:
Getting ready to start The Dog Who Could Fly: The Incredible True Story of a WWII Airman and the Four-Legged Hero Who Flew at His Side by Damien Lewis.
Getting ready to start Studs Terkel's The Good War. Yes, I have never read it. No, I don't know why. Which is why I'm remedying my error.
Finished this book this morning. I am in awe. What an amazing story! I can't believe everything that dog went through - and he survived the war. If any story needs to be made into film, this is it!...
My copy came yesterday, going to give it to my girlfriend in a day or two (as she's really busy with a few things right now). Can't wait to "borrow" it back from her.
