Amazon.com: The Scramble for Africa: White Man's Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876-1912: Thomas Pakenham: Books
Completely readable and followable even if you know little or nothing about the story to start with. How Africa was first explored by Europeans, then suddenly colonized, exploited and abandoned all within a single lifetime (the last two bits are skated through in an epilogue). It's a mesmerising book.

Will have to find it at Hastings or the library. My husband has banned me from Amazon for the time being.

The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. Hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss. I know, 'cause that kid was me.

I bet your library can lend you a copy of The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer and what's more, I bet you'd absolutely love reading it. It's the founding book on Anthropology and the man writes with such wit it's a delight to spend time with him.

Not the Classic you would expect but i can thoroughly reccomend this book as an entertaining eye opener of Britain's most successfull rock band 'The Strangler's.
Written by 'Hugh Cornwell' the lead singer of the band from their arrival in the 70's to his quitting the band in the 90's, this self auto-biography tells all of Britain's most notorious and feared band ever.
'A Multitude of Sins' by Hugh Cornwell.
