Thoughts: Anthony Beevor’s “Berlin – The Downfall 1945”

I’ve been on a reading binge of late. But the problem is that, unlike films or photo exhibits and the like, it’s rare I ever get a chance to discuss a book with others. I might sometimes seek out online reviews or other information about the book or author on the web, but that’s about the extent of any dialogue (one-way at that) I might engage in about it. What results is that usually about midway through the current book, I’ve pretty much already forgotten about the previous work, what I liked about it, what I didn’t, and in some dire cases, what the book was really about in the first place! So anyway, I thought it might be a good idea to put some thoughts down “on paper” as it were about books as I finish them, just to have something I can refer back to later, and to exercise my mind, even a little, with respect to the book at hand. I know I don’t have it in me to write full-blown reviews, so I think more of a bullet point style is suitable.
