[Don Quixote]

A Handful of dust: 9

 

[algie]

The Sword of Shannara 9.5/10

Cracking fantasy book.Forget the Hobbit.

 

[coventrygull]

Contempory British Fascism, The BNP and the quest for legitimacy. 8/10

Excellent read from a left wing bias but well analysed.

Rome and Jerusalem 10/10

Very well researched. Has to be read several times. Packed full of interesting facts. For those interested in ancient history or religion.

Salvation and suicide 10/10

This is an analytical account of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple. Reading this I do wonder if there were outside forces at work in its destruction. If you are interested in cults and how they work. Its a must read

Raven 8/10

Another account of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple. Very well researched. Has to be read along side Salavation and suicide to grasp what the man was about.

 

[Don Quixote]

One flew over the Cuckoos nest: 9

I'm reading Nursing research: Generating and Assessing Evidence for nursing practice by Polit and Beck.

Needless to say it isn't very good!
