Wow, your average rating is 8.96. Very generous!
The Curious Incident is one of my favourite books. It is brilliant. Everyone I talk to who has read this loved the book. I would recommend that to everyone. It has so many awesome mentions of things I like in it like Conway's mathematical puzzles, Turing Machines, Physics and the classic Monty Hall Problem with the goats.
Debunked is a great laugh as well. I am such a Skeptic and that guy just seems to have borrowed my warped sense of humour for that book. Makes you think twice about why people believe stupid and weird things. Very good read. Should really be read with Michael Shermer's "Why People Believe Weird Things" which is equally funny and mystifying.
I want to read Torn Apart and Look Me In The Eye from your list. They sound like good books.
Most of the books I pick end up being pretty good. Only one book wa a real disappointment - number 47.
I'm already at 57 books since I put that blog up - and I'll finish anothe rone tonight :)
Somehow I missed this when you first posted it. A nice well-rounded list. I like Lee Child and his Jack Reacher character. Do you keep a reading journal?
Hi Kim,
Yes - I keep a reading journal on an Excel Spreadsheet. I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, being homeless and housesitting for people, so I read. and read....
I only have 40 books to go until my next 50 books will be up on the blog now!
Cheers
Robyn
