Re-reading Ship of Ghosts (Same as Colo!), 3rd time on Castles of Steel, a number of accounts of the IJN navy' history (I cannot recall the titles right now...), and Jutland, A Narrative. Besides that, I always have at least half a dozen books open for this or that...

Still on Singapore Burning (after another book on the Prince of Wales/Repulse loss). Also, rereading 'Fleet Tactics theory and practice' by Capt. Wayne P Hughes, jr USN (Ret.). I found this in a charity shop!!! And of course, most evenings I end up on the couch with my dog (and LP) with my Freidman books, and lots more of the same.

actually I am not reading a book because... I was part of the team that wrote the book "Vedetta Atlantica" which collects all the issues of the journal published during ww2 at the Italian Submarine base in Bordeaux and we will present the book next saturday.



here below an archive picture: an italian officier is showing the journal to Captain Grossi

I'm ashamed to say that my bookshelves groan with the weight of new books but none of them are naval connected...

Most of my naval books are electrical... I just checked that my "library" folder contained 471 items... and about 400 of them are naval rest are aviation/meddieval or other... and over 75% are russian or polish language
