Random books from jztemple's library

Hi, thanks for leaving a comment. A very nice collection you have there. If you like Holmes, Keegan and NAMRodger you might also enjoy Adrian Goldsworthy's books on roman military history. I have just read Caesar, The Punic Wars and Roman Warfare and they are very good.

Believe me, I understand. The need for absolute fidelity to the original work really starts to fade after the first two thousand entries!

Suddenly a burst of entry. Interesting material.

Hello.
My apologies for the delayed response from your Sept comment, I’ve been working on a major picture-scanning project for the last 6 months.

You commented about our shared book authors… we also share Alistair MacLean.

Just goes to show we both have good taste in what we read… ha ha.

I will be adding more to my lists in the near future, we'll see what others come to light.

You've no doubt noticed that Renault is now in trouble with the FIA and Ross Brawn is going to Honda as team principal. If not, you do now.

Thank you for the covers.

I'd feel a bit better about it if it wasn't for Mad Max's well-known antipathy for Ron Dennis. Also, Jean Todt needs to stuff a sock in it, as he's just mostly ticked that he got caught cheating early in the year. It's also said that the wheels are being greased for Alonso to leave McLaren, though who apart from Renault would want him this close to blackmailing his current team I can't imagine, especially since it's not clear to me that Renault is prepared to pay the freight; maybe Toyota.

Any opinion on the McLaren mess?

We have much in common except for auto racing unless you count two books on the Beetle and classic cars which I'm sure you don't.
It's odd for me to match someone in fiction solely on the Hornblower books with nary any science fiction to be seen. SF not of interest?
