School for Scumbags by Danny King.

A new author to me but one I'd definatley read again. This one is a little like a modern day St Trinians novel, and ios actually quite funny in places.

If you like comedy you must read Peter Kays biography. That had me laughing out loud on the train when I was reading it.

i'm reading a really good book at the mo, it's called The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. I also read A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini which was amazing in my opinion.

"Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the fascinating, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method.

Born in what is now Iraq in 965, Ibn al-Haytham studied theology, trying to resolve the differences between the Shi'ah and Sunnah sects. He turned his attention to the works of the ancient Greek philosophers and mathematicians. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding analytic geometry. He traveled to Egypt to build a dam on the Nile, failed, and ended up imprisoned in Cairo for ten years. During this time he began systematically testing hypotheses with experiments, the core of the scientific method.

"Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/

Lenny is correct. No Country for Old Men is unputdownable. However Cormac Mc Carthy's Pulitzer Prize winner The Road is a million times better.

A Long Way Down - Nick Hornby. told from 4 peoples (2 girls, 2 boys, i think) points of veiw about them all getting through depression together. They're an unlikely group so that makes it even funnier. it's written in a dark comical sort of way.
Zigzag Street - Nick Earls. also about a guy suffering from depression shown in a VERY funny way. its also written in a very comical way.

u REALLY have to look them up to see more about them because they're both REALLY good.
