Not really other than summary of events and keystone battles...not detailed battle accounts
More importantly events leading up to and after..

Re: What Are You Reading?

I just started reading Doctor Sleep, Stephen King's sequel to The Shining, and I have to admit that the first couple of chapters really freaked me. I'm not sure how much I'll like the book, but that was a pretty good start.

Harsh reading as you might imagine.....considering the subject, but well written...informative for sure.

Re: What Are You Reading?

has anybody read the divergent series?

my lady is starting the 3rd book and im tempted to start reading the 1st one - divergent.

im currently reading 2 other books but i havent read a kinda sci-fi-ish book in a long time (since the harry potter series). i think i would like to read a book not based on the real world parameters.

"I am Abraham"
It is a first person account of Abe's life. Written in a sometime......disturbing manner. But pretty good. Many things I was unaware in the life of AL.
