Recent re-reading of The Stainless Steel Rat - Harry Harrison (humorous sic-fi).
Recent-ish reading of Atlas shrugged - the book id recommend for anyone who could only ever read one book in their life.
Very recently "Anthem", also by Ayn Rand - it's a novella and only takes 2 or 3 hours to read. A very nice story. -

Currently reading the modern scholar book on world war 2.
It is actually quite a hard read. I had no idea just how severe the atrocities actually were.Comment

Beavor's WWII is absolutely brilliant if you like history.
Reading Chris Brookmyre's Bedlam at the mo. Very, very good (like almost all of his), esp if you're a bloke, like technology, and grew up in the 80s"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Most recent one that I would really recommend is 'the theoretical minimum' by Loenard Susskind. Anyone with an interest in physics who didn't take it beyond a level, or even an a level student, will enjoy it.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
