Library Additions,

[StratA]

I actually buy most of my books for reference material, rarely read them cover to cover although I have been doing more of that lately. Everytime I sort my collection it's an adventure as I find a lot of books I didn't realize I had.

I'm currently trying to slog through a book on the US Army in the Pacific theater but it's rather dry. I keep reading novels ahead of it.

Tigers at the Front I believe I have along with one or two others in the series.

I have the blessing or curse of having a re-uzit store nearby that has a constant flow of decent books through it. and most are $1.99-$4.99.

Aragorn, re: US Army in the Pacific, if you are referring to the first vol of John McManus's trilogy, it is a bit dry, and frankly, the events of much of the 41-43 time frame have been covered very well by others, with more detail. However, other than having, in my opinion, insufficient maps, the 2nd and 3rd volumes are pretty good.
I do recall you mentioning, I think, several years ago that doorstoppers aren't your favorite.

That's it and they aren't. I don't have volumes 2-3 yet, not sure I'm going to hunt them down. I bought it at Ollies discount store thinking it would be a good read because It's one area I've neglected in my library.
