Currently revisiting Bob Judd's series of motor racing novels. Have read "Formula One" and about 1/3 way through "Indy". Three more to go after that. Bought them when they first came out in the late 80s / early 90s - an odd choice for a teenage schoolgirl (as I was then) but hey, there you go...

On my "to read" pile is "Destiny's Conflict" - book 10 in Janny Wurts' "Wars of Light and Shadow" series. If anyone likes epic fantasy, I can't recommend this series highly enough.

Horowitz and Hill, The Art of Electronics, 2nd edition. Precision rectifier circuits. It's all Greek to me.

I've a vague recollection of working from that book at university in the 1980s! :okay:

I'll just nip up to my attic bedroom to see if I still have a copy in my boxes of books up there ...
My original paperback version was bought in about 1981. A fantastic book for "on the job training". One of the very best books on electronics.

Nope - my copy seems to have gone off to that great textbook recycling centre in the sky.

However, I did find a copy of Electromagnetism by I.S.Grant and W.R.Phillips. If you are ever stuck for interesting bedtime reading I can particularly recommend Chapter 4 - on Steady Currents and Magnetic Fields... If you don't enjoy reading it, at least it will help you doze off! :laugh:

Flipping heck!
That's what I thought, looking at it again for the first time in over 30 years ... I crammed it all into my head in the mid-1980s and kept it there just long enough to pass my exams and then set about forgetting it again! :smile:

The lecturer kept telling us how important all of that stuff was for designing transmission lines, radar dishes, transmitter masts etc. I knew that I wouldn't ever do any of those things and would end up playing with computers instead.
