Like the idea, G2L, I'll try & find time to contribute, I'm a huge book fan, & read about 2 per week. I got 11 books for my birthday, too, which was spot on, they make perfect gifts. Non-fiction only though, sorry.

I'll try & start to do some reviews tomorrow.

I have the Blair autobio, but I've relegated it down the "to read" list, as there are far more wholesome things to read, imo.

I have just finished reading all three volumes of Chris Mullins memoirs and would thoroughly recommend for those with any interest in goverment, politics and, in particular, a slightly alternative view of the New Labour years.  We need more politicians like him.

I'd recommend buying this collection, it's only £8.99 and has several good books in it.

I particularly enjoyed:
Longitude
Sea Biscuit
Fermat's Last Theorem
The Perfect Storm
In the Heart of the Sea

I'll have to have a look at what's lying around on the floor to see what else I've been reading recently.

Good idea George, I am a bit of a book nerd myself, purely non fiction.

Recent reads I really enjoyed:

Super Freakonomics (both Freakonomics books are excellent)
Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuk
Made to Stick & Switch by the Heath Brothers
The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson
59 Seconds by Richard Wiseman

Never been a non fiction fan myself. In fact I can't think of a single non fiction book I've read.
