Reading, Reading, over the bending page

A short and breezy autobiography of Fred Haise, who was Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo 13 and later tested the space shuttle. Clearly ghost-written, except for the technical jargon, but okay and with some interesting insights into the development of the LM and shuttle.

Moshe Dayan in the center.

A straightforward account of the runup to war and the battle for Jerusalem in 1967, by the Israeli commander. Makes me want to look up Peter Young's accounts of the Six-Day War and of his service with the Arab Legion. Makes an interesting point that King Hussein's involvement in the war was reluctant.

Not a single C-47 appears
in the book.

Reading this for the library's book club. It's your typical romantic wartime novel, partly set in the Warsaw Ghetto before and during the Rising and partly postwar in Hollywood, with the beautiful heroine forced to decide what she will do to survive. (Revenge and murder, mostly.) The local population is very Jewish, so hopefully will be an interesting discussion. I find it contrived and melodramatic; it doesn't feel right given the theme - though I have seen an RPG like it, Grey Ranks, set during the later 1944 Rising, in which players are teenage soldiers, complete with a romance tracker. 

The club's move to Das Krieg Haus 2 is mostly complete. It's much smaller than the old one, but more comfortable as it's in an office space rather than a storage center. It's also closer to home for me, about twenty minutes.

A separate "storage" area with bathroom and fridge.

Room for a 5x10 table, and normal floors rather than concrete.

Significantly less storage space, though some stuff is only
temporarily there, held for members who will take it home.

Gaming at home? Dunno. I did just buy a few speedpaint markers, looking forward to trying them. 'Til next time.
