    What was the last great book that you read and why?

    Mine is John Fante - Wait Until Spring Bandini.

    I'd rather listen to audiobooks than read, but I always feel it's cheating lol.

    I am currently on Praetorian by Simon Scarrow. Its the latest in the Eagle series. I started them because they were a gift for xmas last year, and have not put them down since.

    Jeremy Paxman: What empire did for Britain.

    Good book, but wasn't worth the 12 quid on a kindle.

    It's actually cheaper from Amazon in hardback.
    Is that normal?

    I just went on to have a look to see what the hardback cost was so I could justify the saving in my head. Now I'm raging, they say list price is £25.00 when you go to buy it <grr>
