A good read

For those of you seeking a little literary pleasure can I recommend a new release Under The Wire by William Ash with Brendan Foley published by Bantam Press.
It is an autobiography about Bills life as a young Texan who lost his citizenship to join the RCAF and become a Spitfire pilot. Eventually he got shot down and then spent all his time escaping to keep the Germans annoyed.
It is a fantastic and funny read about a truely remarkable man. Worth it  ;)

I think I'll wait a while, till it hits the used book self.  For some reason I enjoy that moldy smell of old books.  :P
