A book as deep and well written as the songs themselves. Analyses their musical trickery, pschoanalyses their lyrics, and reflects upon their influence on the sixties and the western world. Brilliant.

Witty and slightly satirical. Father and son travel the coastline. Observations, humour and pink milkshake abound. You don't even have to be a pharophiliac to enjoy this!

You may not necessarily agree with him, but Newsnight's finest leaves no stone unturned in his disection of the English nation. So much more than just afternoon tea and neatly mowed lawns!

We are all numerologists every time we play the lottery. Be amazed by the facts, and marvel at the patterns inherent in numbers. Easy to dip in and out of.

A brief future of time? We all want to know how it will end, even though we won't be there. There's even just a glimmer of hope for life. Universe without end?

Always a great read for lovers of lists. I have the 92 edition. As essential as the Guinness book of records to factaholics.

'They misunderestimated me'. Or did they? Hilarious verbal mishaps from America's funniest president.

A light introduction to the world of probability, from gambling on 'heads or tails' to monkeys typing the complete works of Shakespeare.

A humorous account of a hike from Kent to Somerset, complete with talking wood pigeons and dream sequences. Does what it says on the tin.
