the thunderbolt kid, bill bryson and some being thrifty book...

Shadow of the Wind - he loved it. Piers Morgans Diaries - couldn't put it down and kept reading it out to me. Currently reading Running for the Hills - a memoir about growing up on a hill farm in Wales. The Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson is another cracking read which I will be passing on to dh.

Mosschops my dh has Angler paraphenalia all over the house too. PMSL at 'bloke holding a fish'. My dh has pictures of himself like that all over the house. They all look the same to me - dh grinning holding a big slimey horrible fish, but he cherishes each and every one of them and remembers the time, the place blah blah blah.

Finished The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and started on Marco Polo.

Spiderhammer · 24/10/2007 19:11

Oh sorry. Fiction. Too Many Daves.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

pointydog · 24/10/2007 19:09

He don't read.

zubb · 24/10/2007 18:55

Paul Auster - anything by him.
A couple he's liked this year that I have also read are - 'This Book will change your life' and 'Vernon God Little'.

World War Z, an oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks.

Dead good. It's a bit Studs Terkel meets Shaun of the Dead

mazzystar · 23/10/2007 20:19

The Corrections by Jonathan Frantzen, its not a blokey book especially but funny and sometimes warm and sometimes scathing and a proper bit of literature.

Dh reading something by Lee Child, am not a fan myself but, if your dh is a rugby fan, he could do worse than read 'Muddied Oafs' by Richard Beard which is an excellent history/biography of 'social' rugby here

A L Kennedy's Day

Sarah Hall The Carhullan Army

Peter Hobbs I could ride all day in my cool blue train (short stories)

BettyBatShapedSpaghetti · 23/10/2007 20:16

John Peel's autobiography

oliveoil · 23/10/2007 20:15

Anything about China or North Korea

(I think he is a communist)

pigletmaker · 23/10/2007 20:07

He last read Harry Potter. He said it was overly long, but compelling and necessary
Before that he read Freakonomics which he quoted to me, and that was a lot more interesting.

Reamhar · 23/10/2007 13:05

My dh loved "Round Ireland with a Fridge" which was apparently very funny, and I think he also like another by the same author (Tony Hawks) "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis".

MrsMcSpooky · 23/10/2007 13:00

Mine loved The God Delusion too and has read a few Patrick Robinson books recently. He's currently reading Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island and is laughing out loud at it.

DH reading the Flashman books which he likes, and just strated Sharpe series, also like Jasper FForde, John o'Farrell and Ben Elton

LOOBYLOU2 · 22/10/2007 16:51

If he likes murder mystery police drama
my DH loves James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux
books
He also enjoys Carl Hiaasen which are hilarious and sardonic. Skinny Dip even made my FIL laugh out loud by the pool on holiday!
Embarrasing to admit he is reading The Little book of Derby County at the moment . . . .
I will check out the football book on Amazon tho', think he would enjoy that

Op Amps for everyone (second edition)

Well you did ask.

ElenyaTuesday · 22/10/2007 16:33

LOL - you bought your dh "Mein Kampf"? What on earth did he do with it?

No help to the OP - my dh only reads books on cricket!!!!

LittleMissNervoustWitch · 22/10/2007 16:14

i am not a book person, my xdp is a heavy book reader, in a book shop one day we passed a book that he commented on saying it would be an interesting read so i made a mental note and though ooohhh xmas present!
in the xmas rush when buying presents i remebered that book and bought it for him (without readin what it was about)
the book was 'Mein Kampf'
he looked a bit shocked when he opened his present on xmas day
