I read
Freakonomics and the collection of Bill Hicks' routines, letters and articles
Love All The People while I was on holiday, both excellent books, the Hicks one especially giving you a real window into a brilliant, funny, angry and loving mind.
Freakonomics should be required reading for anyone who isn't happy to be called amoron, it really is that good, as Curtis can tell you. It also reveals that 'Reginald' is one of the 20 'blackest' names in America.
