I used to read much and a varied ‘diet’ but with the stress/lack of time of adulthood and the invention of really good computer games my reading has degenerated.

I tend to only read sci fi, Stephen King, astronomy non-fiction and non fiction war books.

Not a varied diet.

To break out of this trend, I saw a book called ‘Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing’. I bought it because it won awards and I enjoyed the hell out of reading it.

Any other award winning book suggestions to check out??
