Steve Lightle, Exodus 2. Autobiography, early 70s. Not very good at story telling, but gives a great picture of helping people behind the Iron Curtain during that time.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Books I'm about to read. (Yes I know, talk is cheap. But I will get round to reading them this week! )
"Tom Fletcher and the Angel of Death", by Sarah Matthias (enjoyed another in the same series, so thought I'd read them all although I believe they're really for teenagers)
"The Secret World of Farm Animals", by Jeffrey Masson (some tiresome vegan special pleading, but interesting insights into animal behaviour and thoughts)
"MI6, Life and Death in the British Secret Service", by Gordon Corera

Currently reading “In search of Schrödinger’s cat” by John Gribbin.
It does require a little bit of focus and effort, but it’s straightforward, lucid and very interesting. Turns out the atomic model that most of us were taught in school (like a miniature solar system) is total tulip.
Next up is “Chaos” by James Gleick.

Next: "Nathaniel's Nutmeg: how one man's courage changed the course of history" by Giles Milton.
Next: "The Spying Game" by Michael Smith, being a 2003 post 9/11 expanded rehash of a 1996 book.
Ironically it starts with Afghanistan in early September 2001, a few days before 9/11.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

I'm now onto Bill Bryson's "The Body: A Guide for Occupants" which makes for easy low-brow reading.
