Book Recommendations

I have an Amazon wishlist to which I usually add books I hear good things about (or classics that I feel I ought to have read). I intend to read them all at some point, however, I rarely actually look at the list or remember the books when out and about. I deliberately avoid going on Amazon if truth be told, in case I start spending money. So I thought that this is a safe (as in cheap!) place to record them and hopefully keep them in mind more.

There is also the faint hope that any visitors to this blog may wish to recommend a book to me in comments on this post, so knock yourselves out!
