These are the books I want as favourites:

• Blair: My part in his downfall.
• The theft of democracy: How the Labour party faked the election results for so many years.
• The hunt for Blair’s Trillions: Where did they hide all that money?

The hunt for Blair’s Trillions: Where did they hide all that money?

I think you'll find that "Blair's Trillions" were lost by buying at the top of the market and selling at the bottom.

Read the first one a few times , not an easy read. The others I have not read yet.

Volume 3 is the best (from practical point of view), the first two are stuff for the mainframe dinosaur age. Pity he (like all great mathematicians) writes in a way that is very hard to get used to unless you are really into maths mindset, I had to read few chapters many times to understand what he meant, and after that I could have (and did actually) explain it in a much easier way. Reading draft of Vol 4 now, the contents of it are much more interesting than pretty much anything else he did - 5th looks good too, though not as good as 4th.

Come to think of it Vol 4 should be out soon, gotto check out what's available in it...

long time since i read anything that did not start 'installation and configuration' but . . .

Heinlein - liked em all.

Time enough for love.
(great quote regarding specialisation)

Starship Troopers.
(nothing like the movie)

and

I concur with those who have mentioned Stranger in a strange land. Probably the most memorable thing Ive read and its a very long time since i read it!

Im supposed to say 3 books only but must mention HG Wells who started the Sci-Fire for me.

Oh and Neuromancer was good and . . . and . . .
