![]() | The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.57 Peculiar sci-fi about a man who's memories are eaten by a "conceptual shark" and he has to piece his life back together. Becomes too far out by the end, but is still enjoyable and has a solid cast.

![]() | Parallel Worlds: The Science of Alternative Universes and Our Future in the Cosmos by Michio Kaku

![]() | Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban

![]() | The Origin of Species (Oxford World's Classics) by Charles Darwin
