Re: Pimp a book.....

Well I am gonna pimp a fiction book (if thats ok with you)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Denisov...2381423&sr=1-1

"One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich"- Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn

As the title suggests its the story of one day in Ivans life what makes it interesting is that Ivan is currently imprisoned in a Stalanist Gulag. Probably my all time favourite book this.

Agani with the fiction...

Only Forward - Michael Marshall Smith

One of the funnest books I've read. Also the only book which, upon finishing, I wished (and still do) that the author would write a prequel
