Chris Evans - It's Not What You Think
Harold Evans - My Paper Chase

I'm not normally big on autobiographies but I'd been after these two for quite some time and managed to get a good deal in W.H. Smith (Aberdeen). Was somewhat surprised to find the Harold Evans book in the store, let alone get a fair price. Great stuff.

Anyone use or volunteer for Librivox?

Just started listening to a few audiobooks off the site, it seems quite a decent resou8rce of free audiobooks?

W.E.B. Griffin - The New Breed - one of the Brotherhood of War series that he did. If you like war stories, from WWII through Vietnam, these are worth looking at.

From A Bundle Of Rags by Jim Bowen.

Found it for 50p in our charity shop and worth every penny. Grew up on Dill Hall Lane and seems to have spent the vast majority of his life in Accrington.

There's even a reference to Rishton, first time I've seen that in an autobiography!

Did You Like That? by Don Haworth

A reprint of the 1993 biography of Fred Dibnah by one of the people he worked with closely in his TV career. It covers much of the same ground as Fred by David Hall and in a much shorter time but I'm finding it gripping reading, a testament to days gone by when people had to really work for a living and took real pride in their jobs.

Bernd Greiner "War without fronts - The USA in Vietnam" It looks into the extent that war crimes committed by US forces were far more wide ranging than previously thought & that their happening & responsibility went further than just troops on the ground & military command, even the Whitehouse is implicated.
