I must admit that I'm not a big reader of narrative non-fiction - I'm more a book on Photoshop rather than a collection of essays on X but I'm paranoid enough to want to see things in a bit of a colder light. The review copy has turned up so hopefully I'll get sucked in. I have the worst memory for names – I can remember faces and book covers but names take some thinking about.

I like the occasional popular social / science book. I read a couple the other year - one about life speeding up ('Faster'), the other about it slowing down ('Slow'). Other notable highlights have been books about corpses ('Stiff'), poison ('The Poison Principle') and about sleep ('Counting Sheep'). I think those title are right, I tried to recall them from memory :) I'll add this one to my list. I like the occasional popular social / science book.
