Albert Pierrepoint's autobiography, fascinating read about his life, trade and his thoughts of the people he despatched.
Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Some great recommendations that I've not tried - I remember reading Zola's Thérèse Raquin and La Bête humaine a long time ago - compelling but dark reading at times !
just in correspondence with the new admin about calling it the new NWB book thread sponsored by Richard and Judy….its just we can't have a person who nicks bottles of wine involved on this site ..so its a NO !!!:ban:
All great books, read The Drinking Den as well if you haven't already. I've moved on to If this is a Man/The Truce by Primo Levi, read it before but not for a good while, it's life changing stuff about his time in a concentration camp written in an amazingly objective factual way.
I used to read a lot but got out of the habit in recent years. Probably down to being more glued my laptop or my phone than anything else. I read the whole Dune series of books (by Frank Herbert) back to back and that was an incredible read. I doubt it would've been anywhere near as good reading one at a time though. Also read all the Anne Rice vampire books and was really very taken with them too, and positively love the Ian M Banks sci-fi/"Culture" books. I picked up A Quantum Murder by Peter F Hamilton recently and am really enjoying it too. I watched the film A History Of Everything the other week which reminded me that I have Stephen Hawkings A Brief History Of Time on my bookshelf. Read it years ago but am seriously tempted to pick it up again once I've finished the Quantum Murder book...
