What Made Him Love It: Excellent acting and cinematography. A unique look into the mind and personality of a not well known historical figure. Nice counterpoint/prequel to Dunkirk if you liked that film.

What Made Him Love It: I’m thoroughly enjoying The Story of World War II. It was Paul, of course, who sparked my interest. The book is eye-opening — we all know about World War II, but diving into the details of it really puts the enormity of it into perspective and educates about how much it contributed to modern day society and world politics.

What Made Her Love It: One of my favorite parts of the job has always been the natural high that I get when a design comes together or when I solve a code issue. This book explores that feeling, why it happens and how it affects us, and I’m enjoying learning more about the subject.
