A true story written very close with Douglas Bader himself. One of those very odd things about a film adaptation though is that the film absolutely follows the book nearly word for word. A great read and a really good film.

Classic- To kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee, as a school child it totally changed my way of thinking about race, life and trying to be a decent person.

Modern- Eureka Street, Robert McLiam Wilson. I first saw it as a TV series (unfortunately never repeated) and loved it, so bought the book. It’s about two men one Catholic the other Protestant in Northern Ireland both friends. Each one ends up on a different path, one trying to recover from a romantic relationship the other trying to be an entrepreneur. It’s funny and tragic and as I’m a student of ‘The Troubles’ due to family reasons I have an interest, this is one of the best books that give you an idea of living at that time and surviving it.

Modern Classic

Jaws - Peter Benchley and Carrie - Stephen King, both books bought and read in one sitting both scared me and had me stuck to my chair for an afternoon.

Yep, Terry Pratchett definitely, but dont think i could pick a particular one. I have a soft spot for the Tiffany Aching ones though. But then the librarian is my favorite character, or Death, oh no, far too hard to choose.

So maybe I'll have to go with something else. In that case its 'We need to talk about Kevin' x
