My second time reading it
I am currently reading my way through all the Christopher Brookmyre books I can get my hands on cause I think is ace.
I've been reading "south, the endurance mission" by Ernest Shackelton. it's not well written but if you ever need the the inspiration to dig a little deeper you'll find it there. the shit those poeple lived through is amazing!
Carl Hiaasen's tourist season is one of my top 10 books that I've read
I would strongly recommend Flat Earth News by Nick Davies, basically its about how the media is manipulated and PR is fed into the machine,
Not sure if it was recommended here originally, but currently reading "Blood River: A journey into Africa's Broken Heart"About a guy trying to retrace Stanley's journey down the Congo River. Fascinating reading, but also very sad how deeply fucked the place is. Definitley worth a read if you like this sort of thing.
Currently reading Georges Bataille's 'The Story of The Eye'. I suppose it falls under the rubric of 'art pr0nography' so don't go reading it to the young ones at bedtime.
