I have an eclectic collection of non fiction books, many technical subjects. I am of an age where colleagues are regularly out of action . Some are slightly like minded (and not at all contrary) and I have loaned the following books. Some have not got anywhere, some were very interested. May have to obtain thru Interloan,
If interested in matters technical; Ricardos auto biography under two tiltles Memories and Machines/ The Ricardo Story. Also any/all editions of his semi textbook The High Speed Internal Combustion Engine. If interested in the history of the car The Motor Car, Anthony Bird. If interested in older Brit motor industry Wheels of Misfortune, Johnathan Wood. Classic Racing Cars, Cyril Posthumus.Technology in general, Tools For The Job, Rolt.
As a general read Roald Dahls auto biographies Boy and Going Solo. And a great war book War In a Stringbag by Lamb. For Brits with a sense of history Churchills Second World War Vol 2 Their Finest Hour stirs the blood (and depresses when the present outcome considered). Darwin and the Beagle, Alan Moorehead. KonTiki still a good read, esp if start well in
