Awesome choice mate!!
i read the biography of Manfred Von Richthoven a few years ago, fantastic read if you like your history, otherwise i am a fantasy and sci-fi nut.
Recycling consultant
im currently reading the 911 commission report...
Well, I'm now reading The Silmarillion. And its loooong. But highly recommended if you have any interest in Tolkein, along with the obvious (Lord of the Rings in case you couldn't guess). After that, I have a couple of book recommendations from ERU, so that should keep me going for a long while yet!
"Well, there was your Uncle Tiberius who died wrapped in cabbage leaves but we assumed that was a freak accident."
Steve Alten - The trench
Mervyn Peake - The Gormenghast Trilogy
To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
MONTY: His part in my victory - Spike Milligan Vol 3
As with anything by Spike Milligan its funny, it recounts his years in Africa during WW2 and is just very funny but also shortfound it on shelf in house which i read while attempting to get burnt in garden
"Duffman says alot of Things" - Duffman
If you enjoyed His Dark Materials then give Garth Nix's Sabriel trilogy a read. It's similar young adult fare based on necromancy, titles are Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen.
Tom Clancy - Cardinal of the Kremlin
I'm reading "The Da Vinci code" right now. By: Dan Brown. I think it's good, although haven't read that much yet...
Love, Peace and Linux
Oh god, I don't know....it's mostly research on good writing styles, so there's quite a few on the go at the moment....
Hang on, I'll go look at what I've got on the nightstand and in the loo...
Mothership - John Brosnan (Interesting perspective)
Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk (basically the script of the film)
Lies and the lying liars who tell them - Al Franken (wonderful, informative, and funny in a 'oh my god, the b*stards' kind of way)
Unto Leviathan - Richard Paul Russo (only just started)
Virtual Light - William Gibson (not his best)
The Magician's Guild - Trudi Canavan (pretty good debut)
Nylon Angel - Marianne De Pierres (not so good)
The Amber Spyglass - Phillip Pullman (boooooring - sorry guys)
Oh, and Jonlad, let us know how it goes with the commisions report...

Glorious Summer The Story of the Battle of Britain J E "Johnnie" Johnson CB, CBE, DSO, DFC and P B "Laddie" Lucas CBE, DSO, DFC
Collection of writings mostly personnel accounts from Churchill to front line fighter pilots from both sides.
Shaun Hutson's Renegades.... didn't expect it to be good, but it's cracking!
