Guys,

Any recommendations ? Non fiction preferably but really read anything except horror and fantasy fiction. Got 5 new books from Amazon 2 weeks ago and am down to the last one. I'm sure I got 2 really good recommendations on here last time with Marching Powder and Kitchen Confidential....beat those and you'll be doing well.

Cheers

Vernon 'God' Little is great - fiction but great satire of the US media

If you have an interest in science, space etc, Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell is an excellent read. The true story of the mission, written by the guy in the thick of it!

Rip Off - about the consultancy industry and how much money they make!

Tuesdays with Morrie - you need to be in the right frame of mind for this one, true story about a lecturer who is terminally ill and ex student who meet on tuesdays to discuss 'life' and mortality not as depressing as it sounds for the majority.

just remembered another good non fiction, Bringing down the house - a group of nerdy MIT students make a fortune from counting cards in Las Vagas a little repetative but interesting if you like that sort of thing!

I also thought Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich was a cracking read.

Other books I've read fairly recently I'd recommend:
Atomised - Michel Houellebecq
Dangerous Parking - Stuart Browne
**** Hunter - Simon Wiesenthal
Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Friedrich Nietzsche
The New Market Wizards - Jack D. Schwager
