What are you reading

Just finished these two (both on Kindle):

Bad Blood: Secrets & Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup (John Carreyrou).

Superb expose of one Elizabeth Holmes founder & CEO of Threranos and briefly the golden child of Silicon Valley. From zero to hereo and all the way back to zero in the blink of an eye. At one point her smoke and mirrors enterprise gave her a net worth of $5 billion. A real page turner.

***

The Spider Network: The Wild Story of a Maths Genius and One of the Greatest Scams in Financial History (David Enrick).

Stunning insight into the Libor scandal and how the main character, the far from innocent but naive Tom Hayes, was left hung out to dry. Another that I couldn't put down.

American Sniper.

Mortal Remains by Christopher Evans

 

[NorthernDave]

The new Jack Reacher - Past Tense. Only a handful of chapters in, but very good so far.

And before that Guy Martin - We Need To Weaken The Mixture.
Very entertaining but there is just enough of familiarity creeping in to have me starting to wonder how long he can keep milking this cow

 

[Reynard]

If you like Guy Martin @NorthernDave have you read Carl Fogarty's autobiography?

I bought it when it came out - one heck of an entertaining read. Was sitting there laughing and shaking my head in disbelief at the same time.

Yes, it's an really good read.

Foggy's former team mate James Whitham's book "What A Good Do" is also a really good book from a former racer. I've met him and he's exactly what you'd expect in real life.

I haven't read Jamie Witham's book, but I'll keep an eye out for it. A friend of mine has met Jamie on a number of occasions and says he's a right blast to be with.

Have to admit that I'm more into four wheels rather than two. "Gilles Villeneuve - the life of a legendary racing driver" by Gerald Donaldson is worth reading if that sort of thing floats your boat. As is the book on James Hunt by the same author.

Reminds me when I've been variously taken around Rockingham by some racing driver friends. Not quite as bananas as that, though.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for them.

The Alain Prost one is good too. These are all from the late 80s / early 90s - I bought them first time around.

I am reading The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling by Henry Fielding. It's quite good.
