Amazon wish list

[papercorn2000]

I'm writing myself an Amazon wish list but inevitably my mind has gone blank.

Give me some ideas for books, dvds, cds etc that you guys have liked ... give me a starting point.

What are you interested in? Any part of the world that you're interested in?

 

[papercorn2000]

I do like travel books, any you have read that you can recommend?

I've got a couple of Nat. Geog. coffee table books on my list and one or two David Attenborough series...

No travel books specifically, but I do like 'The Consequences of Love' by Sulaiman Addonia - it's all about men and women trying to get round the authorities in Saudi....

If you like graphic Novels, Persepolis is nice, all about Iran....

As for DVDs, amybe not your thing, but the Ealing Comedies boxset is lovely

This is a CRACKER of a book!

Scroll down and read the reviews.

Best book I've read (still only halfway through) for MANY years.

Cheers, especially for the Ealing Comedies - some classics in there!

No, but I do have a load in the attic. Any CDs you can recommend?

Apart from the Clash and ACDC, my tastes are fairly wide.

Life in Cold Blood (DVD)
Blue Planet (DVD)
Planet Earth (Blu-ray)
The Universe (DVD, blu-ray not available)

What sort of books do you like other than travel books?
