Similar vein Gilad Atzmon's The Wandering Who...an enlightening examination of Israeli/Jewish identity politics, Zionism.
Should be mandatory reading in schools world wide, along with Huxley's Brave New World ...but as I've recently discovered pre teens/ teens nowadays IF they do read anything almost invariably it's the...
Kingdom of Silence by Jonathan Grimwood...So good I read it over again immediately. Breath taking tale of heroism and the horrors of war spanning both big'uns, a compelling mystery man and love...
创All the Light We Cannot See创 and- or 碩he First Fifteen Lives of Harry August创...you might enjoy...创Carter Beats the Devil创 not as deep but an astonishingly enjoyable read.
For my money...
Cor Eric van Lustbader磗 Ninja takes me back...top quality ninja skills to pay the bills and a fair bit of kinky sex, helluva read for an adolescent that one.
Thanks' I'll look out for that, very much enjoyed the Martian.
Not a recent release but a goody, 'Between a Rock and Hard Place' Aron Ralston's account of 6 days trapped under an impossible to lift boulder...they made a movie, 127 hours, but the book is sooo...
Yes, I caught that last week and thought it was excellent.
Boy do I miss Iain M Banks, an outstanding imagination and storyteller, his non sci fi works are also very, very good imho.

Yup feel the same sense of loss that there won’t be any more Culture novels, Use of Weapons is a fave of mine. His non sci fi work as Iain Banks is also a pleasure, Complicity among others is a good...
Wonderfully evocative book "Perfume", dire movie, I doubt it could ever work as a film until we have smellivision.
One of my all time favourites.
I've read both of Noah Yuval Harari's books, very insightful imo. No spoilers.
Yup American Gods is very enjoyable.
I磍l look into those...They sound a bit like Robert Rankins -Brentford Trilogy, 9 books not 3,
They humorously chronicle the lives of a couple of drunken middle-aged layabouts, Jim Pooley and John...
Completely agree, he磗 a brilliant story teller.
You磆ave inspired me; just ordered it to my kindle and looking forward to starting reading it in a couple of days.Thanks.
I don磘 believe Neil Stephenson has written a less than excellent book yet, I always find something thought provoking in his work.
Use of weapons is another good Ian M Banks book. Rip Mr Banks.
