Just read Air Babylon by Imogen Edwards - Jones and anonymous.
Totally hilarious and a fascinating insight into air travel.
Amazing what things go on at the airport and in the sky.
Started reading it earlier today and couldnt put it down.

Did you know that one drink the air equates to three on the ground??
Lol.
You look real great.

I have just finishsed the most amazing book:
Stuart - a life backwards by Alexander Masters.
It is the biography (backwards) of a young homeless guy, trying to find out what made him the way he was: chaotic/often violent/addicted to drugs & drink, who ultimately killed himself aged 32 and it is totally fascinating and brilliantly written. If after reading this you don't think there is something seriously wrong with this country's penal system, I would be very surprised...

No Turning Back - Joanne Lees

Those that disbelieved her story should read this book.
Its terrible that someone should be a victim of a heinous crime, yet be treated as if they were a criminal themselves.

London: The Biography, by Peter Ackroyd

Good book but it's bloody huge and proper awkward to read on the tube.

Catch 22?

I'm reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer... and I'm really enjoying it.

Thanks, Tim, for the recommendation.
