Iv not actually read it yet, its just on my wish list. Its seems there has been much revealed about Hitler but what is better than the mans own words?! Apart from what I read about the holocaust whilst studying for my GCSE's I havnt read much else although I can remember quite a lot, sobering is a feeling defined by the holocaust. Iv just bought Schindlers List on DVD so will be giving that a watch this week!

Something different might be Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. its my favourite book and its about the building of a cathedral in the mniddle ages over 35 years. sounds boring but its a good story with sex, violence as you would expect in those times and a very interesting view of how people lived in a world even more dominated by religion

I loved that book... maybe you should look into Diana Gabaldons books... very nice

just start somewhere then move on... it takes one step to start moving but you wont move without that first step... and for the dying part who knows ... thats not important anyway... its what you managed to that point that is important

The Road is the best post apocalyptic novel of all

and it's being made into a film featuring omar of the wire


What about infinite jest by David Foster wallace

only read half of it's 1000 pages- even so it's still one of the best
th
in
gs i've ever read

fantastic read,strange but very rewarding,has some very valid points on life and death,the film ain't bad either

Schindlers list is a cinematic masterpeice.If you want a good insight into Adolf,try reading the Hitler book,i know many,many, books have been written about The Nazis and the second world war,but apparantly the Hitler book is based upon notes taken from the interegation of his officers the red army captured in the Berlin bunker.It seems old Josef had a bit of an obsession with Adolf,even after his death.

Hmm, wonder what the Nazi's would have done to him had he been 'outed'
