I recently read Krampus: The Yule Lord. I thought it was really good. It's basically about an ancient mythical being that's trying to get revenge on Santa Claus and reclaim Yuletide. It also has some really great illustrations. I feel that I could really connect with the character of Krampus.

Yes, but they're mostly non-fiction books about sociology and philosophy.

I'm currently reading A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway. Pretty good so far. I'm expecting things to end tragically though.

Bloodlands

I just finished this a couple of days ago. It's a good read about the killing of peoples prior to and through WWII by both Stalin and Hitler I am currently reading Jump Into Hell about German paratroopers during WWII. I am also reading Luftwaffe AcesGerman Combat Pilots of World War II (these two books are by the same author. I am also reading The American Petroleum Institute's API 1104 Standard so I can become a CWI.

The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors

Non-Fiction recount of the Battle of Samar (during the Battle of Leyte Gulf) during WW2... Reading it you would think it is an action movie and entirely fiction, but it really happened.

A few US Destroyers, made to escort light carriers, turned torwards and charged the Japanese Center Force which included 4 battleships (including the largest battleship ever built), 4 heavy cruisers (battleships with light armor), and over a dozen destroyers... Though most of the destroyers were severly damaged, sunk, and casualties were high... They sank several Japanese ships and allowed the US carriers to escape and then the carriers inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese as well once safe.

Reading it I'm like "holy sh-t"... Destroyers were made to keep submarines away and had very light armor... They were sinking cruisers and sailing head first through 18.1" battleship artillery fire. Sh-ts hardcore.

Sounds interesting but I can never get into reading. I'd rather just watch the movie for a book. It's just so boring to me. If anything I would read the book you just mentioned in a Wonderbook.:P
