I'm currently reading a book about the 1864 Shenandoah Valley campaign. It's a lot more tactical and nuts-and-bolts-y than anything I've read before. I like it though, because the engagements were smaller than the big-name battles you hear about. The troop movements are easier to visualize, and there is a smaller cast of characters so we get to know a little about all of them. I like the more intimate treatment. There are a few really interesting stories in there.

I'm reading 'Home' by Francis Pryor. I'm really enjoying it (nice chatty style) and it's making me want to write something set in prehistory. (But I won't in the foreseeable future. Too much new research.)

You should also try Pryor's Britain BC. He just annoys me when he claims that the it was the Romans that brought slavery and warfare to Britain. :Soapbox:
