Good books?

Anybody read anything decent recently? At the risk of sounding completely gay, I have just finished reading Darcey Bussels autobiography, and am just about to start the Stigs! I also got a really cool book on Surfing for Christmas so looking forward to starting that.

Favourite books? Well Marching Powder was an amazing read, along with The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night. That made me cry! Also, I can recommend The To-Do List!

Living with an English Teacher, our house is like a library. I prefer the factual based stuff, she likes the classics!

The 5 people you meet in heaven ... a strange book how heaven isn't the paradise we all envision but a place where your life is explained to you by 5 people who you knowingly or unwittingly effected their lives or they did yours, touching and interesting read.

Basically anything by Terry Pratchett is brilliant too try Guards Guards as a starter if you've never read anything by him

One up is a good book too about a girl serving alongside the SAS with the Int Corps

The Dexter series by Jeffry Lindsay is a brilliant set of books If you don't mind a bit of serial killer action.
If you like the TV series you'll definitely love the books.

Neil Asher if you like your sci-fi "hard and fast".........Richard Morgan if you like your sci-fi noir,sadistic and action packed....... Ian Banks if you like your sci-fi "thought provoking".Andy Remic if you like "military sci-fi" or Hamilton or Michael Cobley if you like "space opera".

The road to gobblers knob, Geoff Hill. Two men Travel the Pan-American highway from Chilie to Alaska. Having traveled on part of this road myself, it is amazing that they lived, let alone completed it.
Stealing speed, Matt Oxley. True story of east Germanys domanance in 2 stroke engine technology and how is was stolen from under their noses by their greatest rider.

Four Kings. The story of "Marvolous" Marvin Haggler, "sugar" Ray Leonard, Thomas "the hitman" Hearns and Roberto Durran.

CQB Close quarter battle. Mike Curtis. From a welsh miner to SAS soldier. This is one of the best books I have ever read.

I don't really read fiction so all the above are based on or about true events.

The God Delusion-Richard Dawkins, only just got round to this. "When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."

I'm a book worm myself - most of my books have been read over and over and are looking a little worse for wear :

My current plan for New Year is to work my way through a list of Top 100 books. Mostly fiction by the looks of it, a mix of classics like Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, with a good number of modern writers like Bill Bryson, Phillip Pullman and Roald Dahl.

I have the list on my computer, let me know if you'd like a copy Fly
