    Fiction wise, athing by Clive cussler is great, Hammond Innes and Alistair McLean are both great as well, and if you like aeroplanes, dale brown is fantastic.

    I've just read Sand, Surgery and Saigon Tea by Marshall Barr which was fantastic. It was an account of his time as a doctor with 8 field ambulance in vietnam.

    Hugh Lunn is a favourite of mine, especially his later books about his journalism experiences with Rupert Murdoch and also covering the vietnam war.

    Stephen King. In the middle of a forest. At night. Alone. But seriously I love Stephen King books, he is a nut. History is also great, currently reading "Citizens" by Simon Schama about the French Revolution... his work is fantastic.

    All of the books in the Rich Dad series by Robert Kiyosaki. Any books on real estate (Steve McKnight has a few good ones).

    The Great War...just started to read it. Its all a bit heavy at the moment. The striking thing at the time was the Allies still thought the bayonet was the way to go. So 'over the bags, boys' only then to be cut down by the newly developed machine gun.



    Wave after wave of our lads.....makes one very angry at the English Establishment.



    The Great War is Les Carlyon's extraordinary account of the Anzacs on the Western Front from 1916 to 1918. It combines a brilliant overview of this immense conflict with telling detail, stories, letters and diaries that breathe life into those terrible battles of 90 years ago.


    In The Great War Carlyon has produced a masterpiece that takes the reader from the generals formulating strategy to the troops fighting cold, filth and the terror of sudden death in their trenches. Written with the same narrative skill, humanity, vivid recreation and meticulous research that made Gallipoli a number one bestseller, Les Carlyon's astonishing new book is an epic that will stand as the lasting and definitive history of Australia's involvement in the Great War.

    Agree with Joel re. Stephen King. Also recommend everything by Douglas Adams, especially 'The Meaning of Liff' (that's right, 'Liff') if you can get hold of it...
