3)Ben Mezrich---Bringing down the house--Interesting .

A rare exception.
I didn't get to the end of the book. I was reading it, but then a mate of mine convinced me that I was spending too much time on it, and that I should get out more - so I picked up the TV, and chucked it threw the lounge window, climbed out and ran.

I wouldn't have got that until last night, as I finally got round to watching the film!
Really enjoyed it, and that scene right at the end is re-played for comic effect so often in cartoons, and it's nice to finally know where it comes from!

I've picked it up on many occasions and put it back on the shelf rather than buy it.
