I've never been a fan of the WW or books set in that time period. Well, most books. I do like Russia and don't mind the time period. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBut I mostly like stuff pre 1900. :-)
I have a lot of interests in different time periods. The World Wars are just some of them.
ReplyDeleteI have read a couple of those, and have a couple of others of them on my list. Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteAnd now for a completely unrelated comment - have you seen that Bookie has got a clip of Stephenie Meyer talking about writing Twilight on her blog. Here's a link:

Yes, I tried to watch it earlier but I couldn't hear. I am going to try again later on!
ReplyDeleteMan, there are so many good reads relating to WW1 and WW2. A few suggestions: All Quiet on the Western Front, Suite Francaise, This Way to the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen. I haven't read From Here to Eternity, but that might be another one to consider...
ReplyDeleteThose are all on my list, but as you can see, I have a lot more other books to read before I start browsing for new ones! lol
ReplyDeleteA Small Island, A Good House, and Losing Julia are in my all-time favorite list! Great books. I have Birdsong in my stacks, as well as Schindler's List. I enjoy reading books about both wars as well as books just set during those time periods.
ReplyDeleteThose three books have a special place in my house.... they haven't moved since I bought them! lol I remember buying all three of them too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I will read Schindler's List this month, but I will totally be watching the movie! It is SO good.
