Book Recommendations. Please

My interests are varied, if a book is well written I will read and enjoy it.

I use my kindle mostly but do read real books now and again.

Anyone read anything good/great recently?

The Naked Socialist

and 

The Contradictions of “Real Socialism”

I reread The Hobbit recently and enjoyed it.  But I am just a big kid. 

Not read anything worth mentioning for a while.

I can recommend a couple of good movies though.

Remains of the day - Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson.

Ladies in Lavender - Judi Dench, Maggie Smith.

Now you see me - Many good actors.

Going Clear by Lawrence Wright.

"Life in the West" by Brian Aldiss.

or for a lesser excercise in intellectualism, but for many more laughs, try anything by Terry Pratchett

Here are a few titles I've read in the last year, but all from my local library. I'm a non-fiction reader mainly, and if the book doesn't grab me at page one, I forget it. Library catalogues are all online now for searching and ordering. 

Letter to Louise - Pauline Collins (the English actress)

Ladykiller - Candace Sutton (story of Bruce Burrell's murders)

The Big Flatline: oil and the no-growth economy - Jeff Rubin

Ten Hail Marys - Kate Howarth

Growing up Bin Laden - Jean Sassoon

Chewing Gum in Holy Water - Cheryl Hardacre
