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  ;)

It is a military autobiography written well and humourously. What do I have to do to get you lot to pick up a book and read?

Lol... sounds a good read to be honest. ::)
I actually do read as I am a student, but I don't like writing essays and abhored English as a subject. Notwithstanding I got an A in it, - generous examiner. ;)

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
