Kind of Blue - Ken Clarke

Yes definitely. This is a history of modern Britain. Ok England.

You can marvel at his never seeing his family, at the hours he was awake - his law job, MP ing, going to Ronnie Scott's at midnight.

Ken met them all. Heath couldn't talk to women. Thatcher wanted to disband the NHS and move to the USA model. She opposed the unification of Germany and fought for Europe. The inside story of her take down. The smoothness and central control of Cameron. Ken is so plain speaking and normal. You have to remind yourself that his glee in imposing cuts on departments in his role as Chancellor wasn't quite so hilarious for people who don't share his lifestyle.

An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth - Chris Hadfield

I was really inspired by this one. Obviously details about life in near space and what it does to the human body - which muscles atrophy if you're not careful are all fascinating. How people coped with landing - the Russians in the Kazak cornfield is memorable - and the sheer luck of getting on the programme (not being too tall or small for whatever space ship is being built when you're the right age) also interesting. Really loved his guide to life on earth - preparing for what you want. Still haven't managed to though. So, a brilliant guide, logical, insightful, inspirational with the predictable result of leaving me feeling I should have done it differently.

Chance Witness by Matthew Parris

A very enjoyable read, although I only started a few chapters in when he got to Cambridge...must go back and read the childhood stuff now. He wants to evaluate himself all the time - so he shows off about some pretty show-off-able stuff (like running the marathon in 2 hours 30) and judges himself pretty harshly as an MP (sort of failed, disorganised wimpy rebel) and as a TV presenter. It's all very interesting, not least his sort-of campaigning for gay rights. He manages to stay a Tory despite Clause 28, of course. You'll like this if you like ironic, direct writing or want an inside view of the Thatcher / Major years.
