Recommend some books for me

[Weevil]

Some fancy books pertaining to history, social theory, etc.

I'll recommend one for you:

Hitler's War

 

[Archibald Nixon]

I can also highly recommend Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, which I finished not too long ago. I balked at it for a long time because of all the Boomer/hippie hype, and expected much of it to be drippy, free-love type stuff. But then the fey, messianic hero of the piece starts literally disintegrating S.W.A.T. teams with his mind, and suddenly it got a lot more interesting.

There were parts that dragged & others I had to push myself through, but it was worth it, and it's definitely a book that stays with you for a while afterwards.

How history/social-theory-focused do you want them to be?

I can't really come up with anything profound, since my coursework tends to eat up any interest I'd have in stuff along those lines.

I just finished My War Gone By, I Miss It So, which was kind of a cute read, although you shouldn't expect any shocking revelations about the real reasons behind the breakup of Yugoslavia or anything.

Weevil, if you're still reading:

Has a few minor issues, but fascinating nonetheless.
