Recommend me some books.

James Ellroy, American Tabloid, esp. for those who grew up during the Kennedy era.

Fire Season, notes from a wilderness lookout by Philip Connor, reading it again

Describes life as a fire-watcher "alone" in the wilderness (one man and his dog)

So many america books are very well written, including this one

(See also: "american spelling, unsafe at any speed" by Vorpal )

Reading it again after five years, seems quite familiar although I have read many other books in the meantime
Familiarity, is that a good sign, does it mean my brain is still working well?

'Becoming' by Michelle Obama looks very interesting, saw a film about Barack and her a while ago, looks like she could be smarter than he

Can I suggest The 39 Stops which is a thriller in which the hero,Richard Hannay is on the run from the police and a secret organisation trying to smuggle out state secrets.?I also would urge you to look at this link

Finally I would suggest a look at Nick Cranes accounts where he cycles in some very remote areas eg Tibet,Royston Vasey and the like.

"The 39 Stops"----is that the alternative version where, on the run Richard Hannay,has a brew at every hostelry he comes across----

No, he is trying to escape by bus but cannae see the signs in the dark so he presses the stop button 39 times

The Cicero trilogy by Richard Harris. Political life in Rome written by Ciceros scribe. A gripping read from Republic to Ceasars Dictatorship. Compelling stuff from the Author of Fatherland. His novel Pompeii is a gripping read too.

John Steinbeck:Brakes of Wrath set in 1930s dustbowl USA

Andrew Mitchell:You Only L***e Twice

[Cyril Haearn]

John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley

Wuff or rather Ftt, says Charley, a dog

[Cyril Haearn]

Aesops Fables, lots of talking animals, good for grownups too, lots of short stories, just the thing to read on the train

Hi there, Buy a Kindle then put all of the John Buchan books on it. Real boys own stuff. Add all of the "Bulldog Drummond" books as well.

Just read Lorna Doone, excellent: you can see why it’s a classic
