Best book i've ever read.

I must have really not been paying attention to that book because I found it a bit dull. Got half through and stopped.

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It

any good?

No idea, I've only just started reading it in the past couple of days. I'll try to remember to post a report when I do finish it.

I finally got round to finishing this a couple of weeks ago. An excellent insight into how Apple was founded and Steve Wozniaks role in building the Mac empire.

My wife is a big fan of the Peter James 'dead books'. I read the first one (buried alive bloke) and gave up on the second one after a few chapters. They just read a bit teenage point horror to me.

My ex use to wash his car when she was a young lass.I believe he still lives in Clayton sx.

Just finished reading The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl which was OK. Now decided to re-read the Robert Goddard books and then I think I am going to re-read the David Gemmill book in memoriam.

 

[Socky]

The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

A brilliantly depressing tale of a man and his boy trying to make their way across post-nuclear holocaust America.

I'm reading this one as well at the moment. Bleak but very compelling. Highly recommend it.

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Currently reading the Book Thief by Markus Zusak - which is a beautiful, heartbreaking book with wonderful characters and a real sense of terror with an added lightness provided by the humour.

Good book that.
