All the classics are!.
Oh and you can't review your own book.
Anyone read any good books?
Looks like Matthew Syed has a new book due out soon - You are Awesome, targeted at the younger reader.
Might be worth a look if you have children.

I got this in last months kindle monthly deals and it is a really good read if you have any interest in the Silk Road (the online version):
American Kingpin: Catching the Billion-Dollar Baron of the Dark Web
By Nick Bilton
It is an interesting writing style as it reads like a fiction.
I have really enjoyed reading it and would recommend it.

So far it's ok without being brilliant. 7/10 thus fa. I like the Michael Lewis style of writing. (I've read Kahnamen's book and thought this might be interesting).

It's not out until tomorrow but Danny Wallace is always a good read..
F*** You Very Much: The surprising truth about why people are so rude
Bestselling writer and broadcaster Danny Wallace (Yes Man, Awkward Situations For Men), is on a mission to understand where we have gone wrong. He travels the world interviewing neuroscientists, psychologists, NASA scientists, barristers, bin men, and bellboys. He joins a Radical Honesty group in Germany, talks to drivers about road rage in LA, and confronts his own online troll in a pub.
And in doing so, he uncovers the latest thinking about how we behave, how rudeness, once unleashed, can spread like a virus – and how even one flippant remark can snowball into disaster.
As insightful and enthralling as it is highly entertaining, F*** You Very Much* is an eye-opening exploration into the worst side of human behaviour.

Yes Man is an excellent book, very funny and a fascinating experiment tooShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 6:33 pmIt's not out until tomorrow but Danny Wallace is always a good read..
