"America and the First World War", Gary Mead.

Don't ask.

 

[Greedo]

Chris Evans autobiography.

Q the usual p*sh - Ginger tosser and all that.

The guy has a talent, determination to achieve his goals, a great positive attitude and a work ethic,honesty and ambition that if most people in this country had a fraction of, we would live in a far better country.

I'm currently reading 'Cancer Ward' by Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn

 

[XmisterIS]

Chapter 2, "Assessment and Determination of Initial Treatment Approaches for Patients With Eating Disorders" from Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders, Yager, J. et. al [Eds], 2007.

31 thrilling pages.

It seems that the length of the title of a piece of academic work is always inversely proportional to it's thrillingness ...

M*A*S*H - The Exclusive Inside Story Of TV's Most Popular Show

Interviews with / biogs of each cast member and the directors, a 'letters to M*A*S*H' section, plot distillations and some info on awards won by the show. Doesn't cover the last 3 seasons I think (haven't got that far yet). Been reading it when I haven't been able to get to sleep. And fascinating it is too.

That's good, but I much preferred Chapter 3 - it's all about sex, drugs and rock and roll (There, that's something for you to look forward to )

Personally "The drunkard's walk" by Leonard Mlodinow.

A really interesting and funny book about randomness and how it affects the way we see the world (and often make illogical decisions)

 

[Happiness Stan]

Mrs Slocomb's Pussy by Stuart Jefferies - a more intelligent critique of the last 30 years of TV than you might imagine.

Are you sure? It's called "Eating Disorders and Psychiatric Comorbidity: Prevalence and Treatment Modifications". I'm guessing it's a laugh-a-minute ...

Read it - you'll be amazed. The bits about Sid Vicious and Iggy Pop I hadn't read before anywhere....strong stuff.

As for chapter 4....

Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby. Crap so far. Don't buy it.

 

[Dalestar]

Carl Fogarty’s autobiography - interesting chap and entirely popular with the motorbike racers and Necrophenia by Robert Rankin which is pretty funny.

French Revolutions by Tim Moore........interesting read so far, even more so when I realise that he was the same age as me as he embarked on the his journey....and puts me to shame!

That's a great book. the one in which he cycles across Iceland is good too. In fact, I like all his books.
I'm halfway through the latest Iain M Banks Culture novel.

Just finished The Kraken Wakes by John Windham ( for the umpteenth time ) I love it. Now they have invented CGI it could make a cracking movie...Oh no, hang on a minute , on second thoughts they would just ruin.
Just starting The Dome by Steven KIng. Not bad so far but a bit of a rip off funnily enough of another Windham classic The Midwich Cuckoos filmed as The Village of the Damned.
