Ghost Rider by Neil Peart
Prior to that, I read Escape from Camp 14 - an account written by an escapee from one of North Korea's detention camps. Very very harrowing.

A couple of other Rush fans have told me lately that I need to read Ghost Rider. How did you like it?
Another historical book Im anxious to get and heard great things about is In The Garden of Beasts. It's about William Dodd, who became the American Ambassador to Germany in 1933, apparently having no idea what he was getting into. From what I understand, it's the story of how he tried to warn the US (in vain) about the Nazis during his 4 years in that position.

He did repeat it though, he used the same plot twist in all the other books.
In every Dan Brown book there's a good guy who turns out to be bad and a bad guy who turns out to be not that bad really.
I'm currently burning through Discworld novels and finding them to be not as funny as I was expecting.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The Larson book is well worth reading, Tum. You ought to read that in conjunction with Shirer's Rise and Fall.
On the subject of American perspectives another title you'll enjoy is Willetts's Rendezvous at the Russian Tea Rooms. It's the story of the US Embassy cipher clerk Tyler Kent and the Roosevelt-Churchill cables. It's an absolutley brilliant evocation of the paranoia and claustrophobia of London during the Phoney War period. I'd recommend it to anybody.

'Secrets of the Federal Reserve' by Eustace Mullins. The story of how the banking cabal got their hands on The US' central bank. Once you've an insight into the sheer skull*ckery and scale of theft by these demons, it'll make you question everything you think you know. If not for the fact that it was read on a kindle it would have been thrown against the wall in sheer anger on numerous occasions.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

If you want an eminently readable explanation of the banking crash then The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein is a good 'un. Also if you want to be astonished at some of the antics they got up to then Barbarians at the Gate by Burrough and Helyar (when journalists were investigative) will entertain you. You won't believe it's not made up.
