So /his/, what book are you currently reading?
I'm rolling through this at the moment like it's anuddah blitzkrieg. Capitivating and uncomplicated account of life for ordinary French citizens during WW2.
I'm about half way through this.
Very good look at Nazi policy and views through the last few months of the war. Nothing really new, but a very good account nevertheless.

I really like that illustration.
Grossman's last work is a look into the working people's mentality during the first years of the post-Stalin Soviet Union. With them trying to cope with what all happened during his rule from the famine to World War II. Interesting read, definitely worth the time.
Is Anna Funder's Stasiland any good lads?
Just started pic related:
"History has not been kind to the vast era we call the "Middle Ages." The name designates an intellectual hiatus between the philosophical and technical genius of ancient Greece and Rome and the "rebirth" of knowledge in the Renaissance. Edward Grant wants this to change. He suggests that we consider the period following the establishment of scholasticism until the sixteenth century the pinnacle of an "Age of Reason." In this vein, Grant's latest book is pure apologetics for the Middle Ages.
Grant argues that the University curriculum of the Middle Ages reflected a "self-conscious" use of reason unmatched "in all of human civilization." He claims that medieval use of reason did not restrict itself "to any particular theory of knowledge," though he argues that late Medieval scholars adopted the methodological rigor inherent in Aristotle's own logic and natural philosophy. The University Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Theology successfully applied these methods to advance logic, natural philosophy, and ultimately theology itself. Grant demonstrates in his penultimate chapter that Aristotelian natural philosophy infused and eventually dominated theological discussions about everything from angels to the Eucharist and makes his case that the late Middle Ages was no intellectual void."
Excellent accounts from all sides, soldier and civilian.

Hope that metaphor didn't go over your head, autist.
