Story of the italian Mafia. Best book I read this year. Yes, it has gaps, but it's thrilling, disturbing and I went through the 500+ sides in two days.

I just picked these up today. Borders book stores in the US have 7 volumes of Shadow and Doc Savage books with two novels in each one. They also happen to be on sale at buy 2 get one free. I picked up four of the Shadow ones (the first also includes the Golden Vulture by Lester Dent).

While searching for these, I also stumbled across this collection of three Spider novels that I had never seen. The stories are reprints, the cover is new.

Ah... Let me know if there is anything about the Swedish Gendermerie in that one to the left. *That* is a gaggle of Pulp adventurers if there ever was one. :-)

This doesn't really belong here, but I didn't think we needed a "Latest DVD Received" topic as there wouldn't be enough traffic.



Ken Loach's "Land and Freedom." The best film about the Spanish Civil War I have seen. Admittedly that ain't exactly saying much, as the only other one I've seen is "For Whom the Bell Tolls." Still, I like it a lot anyway.

Finally got my own copy. Very similar tale to Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia" actually. More about division and disillusionment in the Republican ranks than it is about fighting Franco. We follow a British volunteer to Spain and watch as he loses his idealism and zeal in the harsh reality of the war.

Hi Poly, This is the film to watch on the SCW and IMHO out rates Land and Freedom by a mile:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113649/

There is everything in thsi film, from Alsaltos, armoured car, Moors, militia and more militia.

I'm working my way through 'Young Winstons Wars'  a collection of his dispatches from the North West Frontier, the Sudan and the Boer War along with 'The real Brarvo Two Zero' which is looking like a totally different account of the story.
  Plus, somewhere between the publishers and my grubby mitts is 'Girl Genius Vol 6' which I am seriously waiting for.

Here are my latest books that took three months to arrive from overseas. I bought the Zionist book at a bargin considering its worth quite a few hunderd dollars. The Russian book is excellent and covers all areas of WW1.
