I've bought several:

"The Tent, The Bucket and Me" - by Emma Kennedy (a really funny read.)

"At My Mother's Knee and Other Low Joints" - and - "The Devil Rides Out" - by Paul O'Grady(they were both thoroughly entertaining, the man has led an interesting life and, he doesn't dwell on boring "celeb" stuff, like a lot of celebs tend to do.)

"But Can You Drink the Water?" - by Jan Hurst-Nicholson

"In My Wildest Dreams" - by Leslie Thomas

And the prize for the longest title I've purchased, goes to: "Bears in the Yard, Foxes in the House: My Twelve Year Honeymoon in Alaska's Wilderness" - by Jerry Olson
:D

Judas Unchained by Peter.F.Hamilton 1235 pages and the final book in the trilogy.

It has taken me 9 months to read it as I only read when waiting for patients.

Just bought three books and they are;
"The mystery of the yellow room" By Gaston Leroux.A murder mystery.
"The casefiles of Mr J.G.Reeder" By Edgar Wallace.Crime.
And finally:
"The History and Conquests of Ancient Rome" History.
At the moment I`m reading "The casefiles of Mr J.G.Reeder" Which I`m finding quite good, I do like Edgar Wallace stories.

Agree with FBS, a bit heavy on the knees. BUt you would also be flipping through the GBOR to see if there are any khazi records you could break. Could make for an interesting time on the khazi :D
