I am currently reading Barack Obama's:Audacity of Hope.

After that I have a political philosophy book picked out, forgot it's name.

How is Obama's book?

I really like it so far, he is a very talented writer. He does a great job at pointing out what is wrong with politics today and how he is planning on changing it.

Thanks. I'll have to check that one out.

A book called "Go Ahead - Take the Wheel", subtitled "Road Racing on Your Budget", by Dave Gran. Actually Dave if a friend and former competitor of my Brother's, until he changed classes.
The guy writes well and gives a comprehensive outline of the costs and hassles of being a weekend warrior. Motorsports are never cheap, but can be much less than you would think. Well, maybe more than you think.......either way, this book lays it out in realistic terms.

Oh, and there's a picture of my Brother's last race car on the cover.

I'm reading a Discworld one, Jingo, but I'll have it finished by tonight.

I just finished The Archer by Bernard Cornwell. Excellent novel set early in the Hundred Years War.

I'm now reading the Robot Novels by Asimov.

Cornwell's historical fiction is so entertaining!

Officer, what do you think of Jingo? I am so annoyed that nobody bought me a Pratchet book this Chrimbo! I will just have to buy it myself :P

What I did acquire from my rels though, is Ben Elton's 'Chartthrob' which I have just finished, good fun, but not a patch on his 'First Casualty'. Also, I've just started thumbing though 'Amo, amas, amat and all that'. Also good fun.

Flags of Our Fathers. Got it for Christmas and it is a very good read. It's different than most war books, written by the son of one of the flag raisers, the first 1/3rd details the boyhoods of all the men involved in the flag raising and the circumstances that led them all to be a part of the Marine force that invaded Iwo Jima.
It has quickly become one of my favorite WWII books, next to Band of Brothers and The Wild Blue. I really want to get around to reading Gods and Generals one day.

If you like war books, "To the Last Man" by Jeff Shaara is a good WWI book.

DanaC - loved it. But then again i love all the discworld ones. I didn't get any for christmas either but there's a good reason for that... I was terribly geeky and bought them all already...

I like Bernard Cornwell too, but i've only read a couple of his books.

So far I've read his Warlord series (Arthur) and The Archer's Tale. I'm going to read more.

I'm not entirely sure which ones I've read actually. I can remember the main charcter was called Uhtred, or something along those lines...

From Amazon it looks like he's written a lot more than I knew and the Archer's Tale may have been repackaged as the first book in The Grail Quest Series.

The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman. There's a third one in that series too. I knew those Amazon tokens would come in handy.
