Ask for books about your interests and get answers.
Topics I need books for:
Aviation- history of aviation (military and civilian), how planes, helicopters etc. fly and function, aviation sub-classes (for example bombers, fighters etc.) and their descriptions and perhaps some accounts of air battles in history. You can add sub-topics from yourself.
Also books about navy, tanks artillery etc.
