What are you reading?

Currently I'm reading "Brisingr" from Christopher Paolini. The third book of Eragon.
After this one, it will be more historical with "Warsaw 1920; Lenin's failed conquest of Europe" from Adam Zamoyski.

x 2. ;-)

I've just finished reading Rising Sun, Tumbling Bear which was about the the Russo-Japanese war of 1905. Quite interesting, you can see a preview of all the things that made WW1 so nasty. Trenchworks, machineguns, vat numbers of dead. :(

OK, You guys Eragon is like the most popular series in the states right now. It's about a guy, Eragon, who finds a dragon egg and becomes one of the first "dragon riders" in a long time. But, of course, there is a bad guy, Galbatorix, (I hope I spelled that right) who is after the dragon. ;-)
I've only read the first two. Lost interest after that. :?

Started reading `Hitler´by Joachim C Fest, flicked through it to look at the photos and found this:-D the ´Hat´could be excused as being a flying hat cos he´s just stepped out of a plane, but it also turns up in a photo of him sitting at the wheel of a car.
