The Damage Done by Australian Warren Fellows - his story of 12 years in a Bangkok prison following a conviction for possession of heroin in 1978. Seems like the Thai's do things the right way with regard to drugs and the condition of their prisons!

Both volumes. Liberated - if you will - from a recent trip to Riga. Sick Nazi bastards. Who knew they had so much venerial disease. Even in '35. Dirty perverts!
Where's the bloody gin? An army marches on its liver, not its ruddy stomach.
Tuesday is when the new books come out at Barnes & Noble. Today I picked up Harold Coyle's (with Barrett Tillman) new novel Pandora's Legion, It's been a while for anything new by him, I'm looking forward to reading it.

"Khrushchev's Cold War" by Aleksandr Fursenko and Timothy Naftali. A great read. Unfortunately, the research access given to these writers has been reduced by the Putin government for future writers/researchers of the Cold War.
Next on deck for me: "1491" By Charles Mann. "New revelations of the Americas before Columbus."
"Mornings On Horseback" by David McCullough. "The story of an extraordinary family, a vanished way of life, and the unique child who became Theodore Roosevelt." Everything I've read by McCullough so far has been excellent.
"The End Of Barbary Terror" by Frederick Leiner. "Americas's 1815 war against the pirates of North Africa."
