A manual on something or other!

My male friend just finished Shadow of the Wind, as have I (had it bought for me by my brother).

Read?

I don't think he can!

He is more than half way thru the Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman and is quite enjoying that.

Recently he really enjoyed The Wrong Boy by Willy Russell, especially good if your dh was a Smiths fan

if he likes football - this is a good one:

www.amazon.co.uk/Cultured-Left-Foot-Footballing-Greatness/dp/0715636901

its called "a cultured left foot" - by a new author called Musa Okwonga. It was no 1 in the top sports book list in the Telegraph the other day. My hubbie read it in 3 days and loved it.

adrian chiles footie book

The God Delusion, now reading the Dawkins Delusion!!!! I'm trying to get him to read the Kite Runner for some light relief!!

Interpretation of Murder - I read it too - its a great read.

he really liked the book of lost things by John Connolly, ending made him cry apparently

Sea Angler (normally with a pic of some fat moronic bloke on the front with a large fish and a large grin)

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

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!!!!

Op Amps for everyone (second edition)

Well you did ask.

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

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

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.

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".

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.

Anything about China or North Korea

(I think he is a communist)

John Peel's autobiography

A L Kennedy's Day

Sarah Hall The Carhullan Army

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

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

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.

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
