I know this thread is similar to others but what are you all reading at the moment (or just finished?). And what do you think?

I've just finished 'Armageddon' by Max Hastings. I thought it was very good, learnt a lot about the war in the East. I think that it was harsh on the Allies conduct of the war in the West. Also learnt a lot about Holland in the last months of the war.

Reading at the moment (lent to me by a mate at work) 'Harlequin' by Bernard Cornwall. I'm only about 35 pages in, but so far, so good.
