What are you reading? thread 20:20 - Dec 7 with 10355 views | C_jack | Surprised this hasn't made the transition over. I'll start, storming through 'Do The Birds Still Sing In Hell?' at the moment, a story about a POW in WW2 who escaped (and returned) over 200 times to have an affair with a German interpretor. Slight love story combined with a harrowing account of POW life. Heard both positive/negative reviews but am enjoying it at the moment. Post yours!

I used to mock world/global histories, but find them quite refreshing nowadays. Along similar lines I have Chris Bayly's 'The Birth of the Modern World' waiting in the wings. Also read the evening post for a laff. | ![](/images/avatars/12453.gif) |

I have been interested in the history of the church for some time. In particular I'd like to understand how the teachings of Christ evolved into established church doctrine. A tall order I know, but at the same time seek and you shall find and all that. I'd be interested to read you paper, Loh. Have you got it electronically? | ![](/images/avatars/9870.gif) |

No, unfortunately. It was years ago and like a lot of things has either been lost or thrown out, I think. If I do come across it in a box up the attic or somewhere I'll let you know. I don't imagine it contained anything strikingly original, I'm sorry to say. I recall being quite taken with him so it would read like some starry-eyed hagiograph. | ![](/images/avatars/8709.gif) |
