Tim started reading Das Boot by Lothar Günther Buchheim
Novel
I'm 100 pages or so in now and this is a seriously sobering book on what it was to be in a u-boat.
Reviews and Comments
Long time reader right from early childhood on. Can still remember what the Dewey Decimal system and card catalog files are. :)
Mostly fiction, SF, historical, some military. Very limited horror.
Moved list from Goodreads early Feb 2023. Looks like I started using that in 2016. List is so not complete.
