Les Carlyon, The Great War. Documenting Australian stories from individual soldiers to the indifferent commanders on the western front of World War I. Excellent 2.5 day read. Highly recommended for lovers of Australian Military History, and a good followup to Les’ previous tome, Gallipoli. It also documents the interference of then journalists Charles Bean and Keith Murdoch in military and political matters. That would never happen today, right?

US version of The Office. Not as tightly written as the extremely original UK version, but a fun watch.

Yes, Prime Minister.

Re-watched Band of Brothers. Always good.

Nemesis, by Max Hastings. I love Hasting’s histories of World War II.

Currently reading Finished The Vietnam Years by Michael Caufield, and the autobiography of Richard Hammond.
