excellent book.it is about a scottish man conscripted into the army during ww2.he is sent to singapore and is then captured by the japanese and made to work on railways and the bridge over the river kwai.
 
Do No Harm by Henry Marsh. The memoirs of a brain surgeon and very graphic so hard to take except in small doses. Very moving though. His contention is that neuro surgery is straightforward enough like plumbing.
The hard bit is deciding whether to operate at all and how much damage to risk.

If anyone who likes Detective novels is looking for a good holiday read, the D/C Max Wolfe series are very good ( 6 books )

Written by Tony Parsons the ex music journo, who wrote Man and Boy.

Set around Smithfield Market in London.

Easy to read, well written and true to life plots / stories.

Fantastic book, especially for the ones who are into Eastern philosophy and Farsi figures like Omar Khayyam and Hassan Sabbah.
 
Found this in the school library today. Interesting read.

About 60% through The Ritual atm. Lost an hours sleep because of it last night. Weird, twisted, gory. Think the author might be a mass-murderer in waiting!! :o :D

Really good book.

They tired their best with the film, but it doesn`t even come close.

The thing that I found most disturbing about the book, is that it`s not beyond the realms of reality.
 
Just finished this. Not the best Culture novel, and very dense in parts, but an enjoyable read nonetheless. 7/10

Have you read the Wasp Factory, by him ? ( non scfi - Ian Banks )

If not, make it a must read.

It`s rightly hailed as a modern classic and is possibly one of the most disturbing books I`ve ever read. ( the ending is jaw dropping. )
