I am half way through a glourious PG Woodhouse book. The Innimitable Jeeves. I have laughed, giiggled and smiled through their adventures.

Finished Belle De Jour ( great :thumbup: ) and started Gordon Ramsey's Humble Pie. Man, this guy is such a hard life! It's no wonder he turned out as hard working and ambitious as he has. Seems he tried to be eveything his father wasn't ( who appearently was a right bastard! )
I've got more respect for him since starting to read this. Gives you quite an insight into what made him into the man he is today. Good read :thumbup:

The Matewix by Charlie Hamilton James - extremely silly but hilarious!

I'm really getting into Jody Picoult lately - her subjects are really thought provoking, from sexual abuse, stigmata to euthanasia.
Keeping Faith - about a small child who says God talks to her and the aftermath when it becomes public knowledge. Bluddy good read!

I am reading:
Groucho and Me the autobiography
The Analytic Encounter
Uses and Abuses of Psychology
Cost me the princely sum of 3 quid from a delicious back street book shop where half the stock is in cardboard boxes and he bases his prices on the amaazon lists. Bliss.

see, that's a phrase that I rarely believe on a book-blub.. no matter how good it is... "un-put-downable"!

I like a bit of Wodehouse. I would tell you where to look but that would be a PG tip and I only drink coffee.

I'm re-reading The Corner by David Simon and Ed Burns.
If you were a fan of the TV series The Wire then this is written by the same writers. It is profoundly moving yet morbidly depressing but at the same time heart-wrenchingly inspiring... all at once!

I'm reading Mark Urban's book The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes. About the life of George Scovell. A guy who deciphered Napoleon's secret codes and ciphers during the Peninsular War.
Also a couple of books by the Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. All three books riveting!

If you like a brief history of time but find it difficult to understand (I admit I did and do) try Michio kakus Physics Impossible.

I do like popular science in general.
I used to have a good 'source' who could supply free from their publishing house's 'pulp-pile', but that seems rare thoese days.
