... The Months of Ash

Last weekend I made one final push and finished my three month reading of Ash: A Secret History by Mary Gentle, as sadistically recommended and loaned to me by Badger.

So this brick of a book with it's 1112 pages has, apart from ruining my shoulders by trying to hold it up, provided me with a well-written, enjoyable and entertaining read. It enlightened me somewhat to the life of a late 1400's mercenary and ended up touching on quantum physics and other such matters which I find to be a delightful subject for discussion.

I give it 4.5 stars and heartily recommend that you sacrifice a quarter of a year to reading this fantastic monstrosity.
