For those wondering just what DS23 is rambling on about it's this:
The Good Soldier Švejk.
The novel tells a story of the Czech veteran Josef Švejk and his adventures in the army. The story begins with news of the assassination in Sarajevo that precipitates World War I. Švejk is so enthusiastic about faithfully serving his country that no one can decide whether he is merely an imbecile or is craftily undermining the Austro-Hungarian Army's war effort. This idiocy/subversion has entered the Czech language in the form of words of švejkovina ("švejking"), švejkovat ("to švejk"), švejkárna (military absurdity), etc.
The story goes on to describe events taking place during the war's first year, as Švejk joins the army and has various adventures, first in rear areas, and then during a long anabasis to rejoin his unit on the front lines. The unfinished novel breaks off abruptly before Švejk has a chance to be involved in any combat or enter the trenches.
Flippin 'eck. We have gone from b00bs to literature!
It seems ok, better than the Andy McNab books I think, once I've finsihed this one I've read all Duncans books. I've also read all Andys books, finished his newest one yesterday, only bought it on Monday!!

You certainly are rattling through those books, mate!
I'm into Blackfriars at the mo, from where I have a little walk to the client's offices. Not bad at all.
