Default Recommended reads (fiction and non-fiction)

Ok then, anything you've read of late that you'd think others might enjoy you can add to this thread:

1. A short history of nearly everything - Bill Bryson (Non-fiction)

This book gives a laymans view of a lot of interesting and complex scientific topics. Bill is a great writer too.


2. The English by Jeremy Paxman. (Non-fiction)

Jeremy is the political TV presenter who ripped Tony Bliar (sic) apart on TV just before the election. The book is a bit boring in places but overall it is an interesting read for anyone with an interest in the country or it's people.

3. Mr Nice - Howard Marks. (Non-fiction)

An autobiography by an infamous drug dealer (now retired I guess). I was interested to see how he got from Oxbridge to where he ended up...
