Have you read Homage to Catalonia? It's a great book of Orwell's about his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.

I have! I read it alongside Animal Farm.

David Drake - The Military Dimension
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

I finished reading Scythe a few days ago, it's a really interesting sci-fi book set in a kind-of utopia where (almost) nobody dies.

The Sword and the Flame, by Stephen Lawhead.
The Kingdom of Tarvelia + Һранве́лӷа Ҭáрвең


A post-Soviet, semi-constitutional monarchy with a strong sense of tradition. Basically just a humble, subarctic nation of (heavily armed) fishermen, lumberjacks and farmers trying to maintain their cultural identity in an increasingly cosmopolitan world.
