SGM Ashcroft
The Mirror & The Light
The third of Hiliary’s Mantel’s magnificent trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, who as Henry’s VIII’s ‘chief of staff’ forever altered the course of British history. Masterful. The best work of historical fiction in, er, history.
Arsene Wenger: My life in Red & White
Part memoir, part self-help guide, part business-guru masterclass, Wenger’s autobiography reveals the inner workings of the driven visionary who single-handedly created the Beautiful Game as we know it today.
Viz: The Big Hard Number Two
Picked up in a charity shop. Puerile, disgusting, utterly inappropriate, hilarious. The UK’s notorious satirical comic is still going strong. Here’s a classic Viz Top Tip: "Old telephone directories make ideal address books. Simply cross out the names of the people you don’t know."
The Man Who Ate Everything
Food writer Jeffrey Steingarten’s absorbing and amusing collection of essays about the everyday foods we take for granted. Gastronomic penmanship of the highest order.
McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists 22nd Edition
Dry as the Sahara and extremely put-downable, but I’ve had to reacquaint myself with UK law as it affects journalists, as research for the second novel in my Hack series. (The main character is a reporter who plays hard and fast with the rules in his pursuit both of hot news and justice.)
