Book #2 City of Thieves by David Benioff. I got this book for Christmas and I seem to be on a war kick, so... besides, I couldn' find Great Expectations in our own library.

This book is about life in Leningrad during the German siege. Two unlikely friends are on a quest for a dozen eggs. The story isn't pretty as the two weave their way through the horrors of war. I thought the development of the characters was excellent. And, I really enjoyed reading the book, if one can enjoy reading about death and destruction.
