• Electrics Afloat!!! Turns out I did much learning reading that
• The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
• Rick Stein's Seafood. Truly amazing cookbook that all those who like fish should own. Amazingly useful book, and for those making a stop in Padstown, Cornwall, you should try one of his restaurants.
• The Constant Gardener by John Le Carré.
