Re: What books are you reading now?
I'm reading The Shadow of War by Stewart Binns.It's about the Great War, something I really wanted to read more about.
The book is fiction but the characters do include Churchill and Kitchener and I'm finding it enlightening.
I've read Stewrt Binns' books before, notably Conquest, Crusade, Anarchy and Lionheart, which more or less follow on from each other, starting at The Battle of Senlac Ridge, otherwise known as The Battle of Hastings.
Celia Sandys actually said "My grandfather, Winston Churchill, would have loved this book. It enlivens one of the most important periods in our history and is very faithful to real historical events" which is one of the reason I'm reading this book now. stevmk2

Re: What books are you reading now?
I read loads of things, always got my nose in a book, magazine, newspaper, etc. My present book at bedtime is an Alan Titchmarsh book, but not gardening, its going to be a romance eventually, I think. It's about a chap who's father dies, and the son has to leave his beloved stud farm in Australia to come to England to sort his fathers estate out. It's actually quite good. Nice and light hearted to go to bed on, don't like anything 'disturbing' or heavy before sleep.
