Recommend ONE book.

[hans kraay fan club]

El Pres' thread triggered this, but I didn't want to hi-jack his thread.

I've got about £40 worth of Waterstones vouchers that I never get around to using.

Recommend me ONE book, classic, current, fiction, or non-fiction that I should own....

Try me Nick. Yes, its true I'm quite LEARN-ED, I'm not a PONCE. I probably wouldn't go for Katie Price's latest BONKBUSTER, but I'm happy to consider most GENRES.
