No time for me at the moment... I'm currently reading CCNA Simplified (as fucking if) and Cisco Networking Academy CCNA 1 and 2. These will be the only books I read for the next 2 months

Daemon by Daniel Suarez is a cracking read. Techno thriller and basically a "Matrix" of the book world. Just finished the follow up Freedom.

I'm current reading "Why England Lose and other curious phenomena explained" by Simon Kuper and Stefan Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. Very good.

Fatherland by Robert Harris is a good fiction book to read it's basically set in a world had Hitler won WWII.

The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway
I can't categorise it; it's an SF(ish) post apocalypse / gulf war satire / martial arts action novel; but I loved it.
Incidentally he's the son of John Le Carre who I don't think has ever produced a shit book.

I enjoyed this when I read it last year. Well worth a read.

Is it? I've read what they write in 442 and a lot of it is absolute bollocks. It may be true what they say, but if they genuinly believe what they put forward is why england lose they need their heads examined

It is very interesting - that's not to say I agree with it all. They're basic premise on the England issue is that, given all the factors considered - England don't lose that often, and certainly don't under-achieve, which is something I've believed all along. I'm currently reading a section about racism in football - which again is very interesting, if flawed.

You should try some of the early Neal Stephenson if you like that kind of stuff.
