Finished Jackie Stewart's autobiography today, brilliant book. Only took 3 days, which I'm shocked at! 
Also read Senna vs. Prost, Memories of Ayrton and Colin McRae: The Real McRae when I was laid up with the broken ankle.

That's quite a good book, was told to read it by a teacher. She said I couldn't do it as it was too hard to read, read it in a day just to piss her off!

Catch Me If You Can - Frank Abignale Jr.
Cracking book, only about 20-25% of the book is in the film (which of course isn't 100% accurate). Really interesting, especially the conditions of the French prison he was put in and how easy prions are (or used to be) in Sweden.

Scally - Confessions of a Category C Football Hooligan
As the title, he was an Everton fan, basically tells you what he did etc. Some mental stuff.

"Go Go Go" - True account of Operation Nimrod
"Soldier 5" - Another account of the Bravo Two Zero mission. According to Some, Chris Ryan and Andy McNab's stories are all lies, and Soldier 5 is "the truth".

The rude bits aren't that well written. But I liked the idea of the whole playing hard to get thing.

Gave up on this pretty quickly, it's written in a confusing way to start off with and then the language adds to the problem.
Think you'd have to be reading it for an assignment or really, really bored to get over the first hurdle.
Onto A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of thrones now, for the most part exactly the same as the TV show so far.

I'm 85 pages of 994 in to War & Peace. Draining, hence why it's on a back burner!

I've not got time at the moment to read something I'm not enjoying reading, that's why I gave up on Ulysees.

Onto book 4 of game of thrones today- a feast for crows.
The first three books are great and hugely more detailed than the tv series, which is to be expected really.
Finding it hard to stop reading them tbh.

Pretty good. Wasn't sure what was going to happen when the guy touched his head and when he met his sister at the end. Should maybe not always expect the worst.

Brilliant books!
