With the Jocks - Peter White ">With the Jocks - Peter White
The journal of Peter White through the last few years of WW2 during his time as an officer in the King’s Own Scottish Borderers. Its an amazing look into the minds of those that went to war as well as a fascinating look at how people from different areas of the country reacted to the [...]

The Last Templar - Raymond Khoury ">The Last Templar - Raymond Khoury
How to be the Da Vinci Code without actually being the Da Vinci code. Very similar in storyline but in a more enjoyable fashion. Theres something about this book that made me want to keep on reading to see what happened unlike the other which made me keep on reading to get it over and [...]

History of Ancient Egypt (48 lectures) - Dr Bob Brier (It’s taped lectures but I’m claiming it as an audiobook)">History of Ancient Egypt (48 lectures) - Dr Bob Brier (It’s taped lectures but I’m claiming it as an audiobook)
So yeah. Doctor Bob or Mr Mummy as he’s known to his friends made a series of lectures for some well known US home learning company a few years ago. And its fascinating. Bob Brier has this knack of being able to explainthings about ancient Egypt in such a way that it all makes sense, [...]

Fatherhood: The Truth by Marcus Berkmann ">Fatherhood: The Truth by Marcus Berkmann

Hegemony or Survival : America’s Quest for Global Dominance - Noam Chomsky ">Hegemony or Survival : America’s Quest for Global Dominance - Noam Chomsky
A proper book for once!!
This book should have been 5 times as thick as it actually is. Every sentence says something without any padding or background to it so you really have to work hard to follow it. As Vonnie said dont be reading it just before you go to bed. I’m going to have [...]

A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking (Audiobook Version)">A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking (Audiobook Version)
Again im cheating but I did have a copy of this book once. Think I loaned it to Rab and never got it back though I could be wrong.
Anyway its a good read for anyone even remotely interested in physics and how the world works and the history of it all. Shouldnt take anyone more [...]

Napalm and Silly Putty - George Carlin (Audiobook Version)">Napalm and Silly Putty - George Carlin (Audiobook Version)
OK im cheating a little with this one and I will do so with a few others as well. Audiobooks are really easy for me to ‘read’ when its damn cold outside and I dont have decent gloves that I can turn the pages of a book with.
Its George Carlin…in a book…written down..but its actually [...]

The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown">The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
About the only thing this book had going for it was the topic seeing as I’ve been reading about the grail mysteries since I was about 10. Dan Brown has always struck me as the kind of writer that writes books that if you read one you’ve read them all. This has been confirmed by [...]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - JK Rowling">Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - JK Rowling
It has to be said I wasnt looking forward to this one that much. It was one of the books I’d included that I didnt really want to read.
Now I enjoyed the films for what they were and unlike most folk refuse to moan about them being crap because (up until teh most recent one [...]
