Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Made me appreciate my uncles' generation and also appreciate democracy. I may not agree with what you said, but I'll fight to the death to preserve your right to say it.

2. One book you have read more than once?

Eeeee. I reread books CONSTANTLY. OK, after reviewing my book collection (and finding it balanced between sci-fi, science, history and mysteries), I choose the James Harriot country vet series. All Things Bright And Beautiful is my choice du jour. Quite the nice series, gentle and humourous.

Small Boat Building by H. W. Patterson.
