Well, i'd better get reading i think, must try Hizzies book after that review....don't seem to read much in the summer, but my bedtime read at the moment is 'Bowling for Columbine' ...... a fantastic, if awful look into the american psyche...keeps me awake!......my coffee table read, just finished, is 'Brunel'........... wonderful insight into who i consider (and many others)to be the greatest engineer the world has ever seen.
i'm going to have a go at Ghosts of Sleath too.... not really into novels, but as it come so highly recommended....
also on my list .... graham o'bree 'the flying scotsman' and the book about Tom Simpson 'put me back on my bike'
