You seems to read a lot about it.

So in a sense, it's a revisiting of what I read/studied before I decided to drop out after my MA and become an English/Social Studies teacher.

Also what Tom said. If I had time, I'd also cover the 75th of the European theater of WWII, the 50th of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and the 25th of the 1989 revolutions. Maybe I'll cover 1-2 books from the last. In addition, I set up a WWI-themed blog that'll start having lots of articles (hoping for 2-4/week) on the literature/histories written both by the participants and by those of succeeding generations in the next few weeks.
