I'm reading Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte. Surprisingly readable and modern, and worthy of it's classic status.

All the Cormac McCarthy books are brilliant especially “No Country For Old Men” (great film), Child Of God & Blood Meridian. Read that last one 3 times. Wish he’d write another one.

Just getting my reading material ready for a week away with the missis and the dog in July, cabin in the woods well away from people

So picked up last week (not started reading yet) Tornado - In the Eye of the Storm by John Nichol all about Desert Storm

Will bring back some memories but bonus of lots of pictures inside the cockpit so I can bore the crap out of my kids and grandkids about what I use to work on with pictures no less

I didn't know there was a film based on Ghost Wars, It'll need be a bloody long film to do the book justice.
I'll definitely be checking it out.

Memo From Turner - Tim Willocks. A crime drama set against the backdrop of South Africa's Northern Territory. When the drunk son of a mining magnate kills a nameless street girl in a Cape Town shanty, only the titular Turner is interested in pursuing justice, for reasons that only start to come to light as the story progresses. It is bleak, bloody and brilliant, as you would expect from the writer behind Green River Rising. Highly recommended

Yes, it would need to be a bloody long film, 12 strong is well related about the group that took the northern part of Afghanistan, The capture of Mazar-i-Sharif by the Horse Soldiers.
