THEY'RE GONNA SAY NO
V for vendetta Moore, Alan
Thought provoking and shocking. But relatively immature compared to his later works. 8 out of 10.

Liar's poker : rising through the wreckage on Wall Street Lewis, Michael
Eye opening for its frank portrayal of traders and how they view their customers. A bit dull in the middle though. 7/10.

This time let's not eat the bones : Bill James without the numbers
The Bill James historical baseball abstract
Not a baseball fan, I couldn't get into these as much as I'd hoped.

Red lightning Varley, John
A great author, a mediocre book. He doesn't get across the magnitude of the disaster as well as he should. Events just happen, and are taken at face value. Characters are tepid and uninteresting. 4/10.

The wages of wins : taking measure of the many myths in modern sport Berri, David
Fascinating concept. Dull, dry and haughty in practice. Aims for the Moneyball/Bill James target, and misses unentertainingly. 6.5/10.
