The Brotherhood: The Explosive Expose of the Secret World of the Freemasons
Stephen Knight
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1985
One of most important things you will ever read 2 survive
Freedom of the press around the world is rather an illusionary lie. Most of the corporate conglomerates have monopolized free speech and freedom of expression that goes hand in hand with it. Each citizen that fails to learn the massive destruction to freedom that has ...

The Monsters and the Critics
J.R.R. Tolkien
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1997
Good stuff for the serious student of Tolkien
This book is hard to find in the US, and in fact, my copy was sent from the UK. But, it was well worth it. This is a collection of Tolkien's essays and lectures on diverse topics - Beowulf; On Faerie Stories; Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; English and Welsh, and ...

Along Came a Spider
James Patterson
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2004
Much better than the movie
If you've seen the movie, do not let that stop you from reading the book. It is a great suspense novel and quite different from the movie...much more character development and more to the story.

Winston's War

A great work
I picked this book up in Bangkok as I was browsing through a second hand book store, and didn't expect much until I read that this was a novel by the guy who wrote House of Cards, To Play the King and The Final Cut.
As mentioned above, this covers the events leading ...

Hey out there! This is a great series!
The Dalziel and Pascoe series is a great series, and Reginald Hill is a smart and intelligent writer. This is the eighth or ninth book in this series, and it's probably one of the better ones in my opinion. The book starts with the death of three elderly gentlemen, ...

Tree and Leaf
J.R.R. Tolkien
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2001
A great short story
I liked Tolkien's other books (Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Silmarillion), but he can get long-winded when describing things. Leaf by Niggle is great because Tolkien limits his descriptions to only what is necessary to advance the stories, and it is beautiful and ...
