At the moment I'm reading the Letters from America by the late great Alistair Cooke. Its a really interesting read. I'd recommend it thoroughly.

I've begun to read Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Winn Sanderson, a fantasy set in the world after a great and momentous conflict... where the "bad guy", an evil sorceror, won and succeeded in taking over the world.  The problem, of course, is that what I read thus far was an excerpt from the beginning of the book on the publishing company's website and now find myself forced to purchase it to read the rest.  Damn you, convenient online sales tools!

Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit? Volume Two. - Steve Lowe & Alan Mcarther

For the cynics out there, bloody brilliant. Actually hilarious. Volume One is far better though.

I agree, and have been enjoying it quite a bit. I think the book not only does a great job with illustrating life as it was in the 1920's, but it also says a lot about human nature. The novel, despite being only a mere 140 pages or so, is so rich and complex.
