Musing Mondays: War, What is it Good For? Absolutely Nothing! HUH!

Today’s Musing Mondays (hosted by just one more page…) is as follows: With yesterday being Anzac Day, I thought I’d ask a theme question this week. Are you a reader of war books? And if so, do you have any favorites?

Well, after having to look up what Anzac Day is (and don’t I feel chagrined … I should have known what Anzac Day was, after all I bloody taught WWI to seventh graders for three years) … anyway … I have to say that while I’ve read a few here and there but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. Especially as of late I have become less and less “enamored” of war and all its trappings and I guess that means reading less and less “war books.” It is a weird double-standard, though, because I have no problem reading horror novels and fantasy novels of the sword-and-sorcery kind (like the Conan stories and Dragonlance, etc.) so I guess I’m a hypocrite.
