I got the ILM book for £3 in a charity shop. A little bit damaged....looks like someone spilled some water onto the book.... but still great value. Some really good behind the scenes pics I might upload.

I'm reading a shedload of Chomsky and Pilger at the moment.
I highly recommend Paul Krugman's book "End This Depression Now!"

I'm currently reading Nele Neuhaus's Pia Kirchhof and Oliver Bodenstein detective novels, they are great.

I've hardly read a book since I left school, despite reading hundreds very avidly when I was young. However, I've just added "Ender's Game" to my list... although there's a film coming up so I may wait for the DVD http://endersgameblog.tumblr.com/

Still reading the Jobs book. He keeps crying every time someone JUSTIFIABLY calls him a cnut, basically...

I'm trying to pick up where I left off with Philip Pullman's The Shadow in the North, but I don't know if I can be bothered.

Awful, but popular. Like JK Rowling or Eastenders.

As mentioned in another thread, the Darksiders book is awesome. Have any of you read any Ari Marmell books? He's done a lot of D+D-type books which aren't normally my thing, but his writing style really works for me if Darksiders is anything to go by. Time to see if there's any Amazon samples
