    IT Leaks. I can recommend it to anyone who can read Dutch, as it's not too technical (and when it is, it's explained very well), and still humorous, even with the overall darkish theme.

    Just finished The Man In The High Castle by Philip K Dick. IMO, a far more effective piece of literature than 1984 ever was re: totalitarianism, but don't take my word for it.

    Now reading All Hell Let Loose by Max Hastings. Pretty good so far. Some of the anecdotes about Poland in 1939 are quite surprising.

    An Axis-dominated world made up the guy who wrote 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' (ie- the book that became Blade Runner) - sounds good to me.
    Right now i'm reading a lot of books, 'cos i've got to revise for exams - The Winter King by Thomas Penn (about Henry VII for my Tudor module), Twelve Days by Victor Sebestyen (Hungarian rising for my Making of the Modern World module), Germany: Jekyll and Hyde, a contemporary account of Nazi Germany (because there's always something to read about the Nazis) and Blood Pact by Dan Abnett (been reading all the Gaunt's Ghosts novels).
    So, nothing sad here.

    The Great Sea: A History of the Mediterranean. Pretty interesting but I wouldn't be reading it if I didn't have read it for a final.
    I just finished reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and I plan on reading Traitor to his Class soon.

    I'm mostly reading Gods and Kings reviews, as the game won't come out for another two days here, and I'm being very jealous of North America.
