Friedrich will become famous soon enough
"The world crisis 1911-1918" Volume I by Sir Winston S. Churchill. Magnificent read!

"In Stahlgewittern" (Iron Tempests) by Ernst Jünger. Good, detailed WWI reading, but "All quiet in the Western front" is much, much better.

Just finished "La Dame aux Camélias" by Alexandre Dumas, fils. What a tragic book! It's depressing!
