I’m joining the reading challenge at War Through The Generations. It looks like the default reading goal is 5 books that have WWII as a central theme. However, I’m browsing through the reading list for the challenge, and there are so many intriguing possibilities there.
I’m feeling ambitious. So I’m going to say seven books. Possibly more.
Note- this may or may not include a re-read and round-up post of a few books I remember devouring and rereading as a kid. I can’t bring myself to read The Diary of Anne Frank again.

I still have a copy of The Devil in Vienna, by Doris Orgel.  Definitely rereading that, Summer of My German Soldier , and not sure what else. I’d love to get a copy of Night of Flames: A Novel of World War II.   ChrisL is finishing her book, called “I Ain’t Marching Anymore: Soldiers Who Dissent, 1754 to 2008.”  So I’m going to put that on the list, because it’s got some WWII in it.

I’m also doing Caribou’s Mom’s Themed Reading Challenge, though not sure what theme yet.   Books By Women is too broad.   As is “books I keep meaning to read.”

Speaking of challenges.  If any of my readers or commenters want to challenge me to read a book, or a handful of themed books, I’m game.
