A life in Questions - Jeremy Paxman
I listened to this one and really enjoyed it. I've watched Newsnight over the years, so lots of the Newsnight events he talked about I recognised. Maybe Newsnight fans will enjoy it most, then again, who else would read it?
He was a reporter in Northern Ireland well before his Newsnight days. He brings his evaluative eye and stark summarising skills to the situation there, worth a read in itself. Later, he seems to get bored with his own book, asking himself a series of questions and answering them.
He nearly stood as a Conservative MP (I'm on a Conservative MP autobiography roll here). But he's not that much of a git.
If you want to know how Newsnight and shows like it work, it's the book for you.
