Books:

A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon. A Spot of Bother is Mark Haddon’s follow-up to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. It is a poignant, dark, and profoundly human story. I liked it very much, and if you are not a mental juvenile, you will too.
Me and Mr Darcy by Alexandra Potter. Pure unbridled crap. It's not just crap, however. It's the crap that crap comes from. I love anything that's a 6th generation knock-off of Jane Austen, though.
The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie. The Gun Seller (1996) is Hugh Laurie's first novel. It concerns former Scots Guards officer Thomas Lang and his reluctant involvement in a conspiracy involving international arms dealers, terrorists, the CIA, the MOD, beautiful women and fast motorcycles. Even though he wrote the book, apparently, many years ago--Laurie's stock has risen with his TV show, and the publisher brought it out again. I'm glad, because I rather enjoyed it.
Billy Budd and Other Short Stories by Herman Melville. Dude, it's Melville--a classic. You should read it just so you can sound pretentious at parties.

Tesla and Jack Kirby
