♥ Nothing Better Than Reading!! ♥ discussion

Hello,

my name is Michael and I love to read.

Can anyone suggest a book along the following lines:

- about an historical event
- both sides talking about the same event - e.g. like with books by Jeff Shaara, or (to a lesser degree) Robert Conroy, or...
- best would be: not only the 2 sides (e.g. Generals, Soldiers and Civilians from each side) - but also how historians nowadays see it and its context" - and also propaganda texts from each side (to give you a chuckle).

I´ve heard of a famous japanese movie from the 60ies (I do not remember the name) in which the same story is told six times time - but every time from the viewpoint of a different character.

Can you suggest some books?

Bye

Michael

Hi Pamela. having a quick look through the types of books you've read; you seem to have interest in many genres.
personally, I like Wilbur Smith as an author. When the Lion Feeds is an interesting and well paced book that has a solid story to start with.

Being the author of "North", Set in the top end of Western Australia; Apart from enjoying writing, I also think it is original with a nice story where relationships are as important as the story.

Have a look - if your interested. Your feed back would be welcome. Cheers, Paul : )

No worries. Cheer's Paul :)

I can't stand North and South. I found it to be so mind-numbing boring, I felt like my IQ dropped. I had to toss it on the never to be touched again abandoned books list.

I know some people love the book but nope, I just couldn't do it. I was worried War and Peace would be like it but I'm actually pleased with War and Peace (as long as it isn't in the boring war parts).

I am new here and would like a recommendation on some young adult romance. Just make sure its FREE on ibooks

Anything contemporary or fantasy or fiction or sci fi is more than welcome

Plz contact with a great book recommendation soon
