At the moment I'm reading The Pacific, the book that inspired the TV show.
It's a historical account. Very interesting read.
If anyone likes war sort of book I suggest Invasion by Eric L Harry.
Basically China takes over the world and invades the US.
A great read, I actually kept looking at a map of the US.
The last thing I read was "Isolation" (Unbroken) - Laura Hillenbrand. The story of the outstanding American legendary athlete and prisoner of war during World War II, Louis Zamperini. I first read the literature review outline about it, found the
outline of a literature review for this. Then I became very interested. This is how I basically look for books all the time.
