Wa-hoo! Just got my treasure trove of books. I've been reading 'Always Another Dawn' by Scott Crossfield, basically the story of the X-15 (up until late 1960, when the book was published) but my Amazon order has arrived:
Stages to Saturn Moon Lander How Apollo Flew to the Moon Apollo EECOM
There's my xmas reading!

My xmas readingL Mike Collin's biography "Carrying the fire", and "The Man who Ran the Moon", the biography of NASA administrator James Webb.
I try to keep my reading varied so it's not all about space, space flight etc, and have just finished reading Richard Dawkins "The Greatest Show on Earth", and have started "The Unequalled Self, a biography of Samuel Pepys". After which I shall start on the above books.

Could we have this moved over to chat, and have other people chip in with what books you are reading? Or a book you read that you'd recommend?

I don't know why Lunar Orbit just didn't drive to the publisher's - only a few miles away from him - and pick up some copies to mail out to everyone. ;D
