Should you read this book?

I've pre-read these for you so you don't waste your time. Am through with fiction for a bit so these are mainly non-fiction - especially history and science (both with the "popular" prefix ie. not too hard). PLEASE MAKE SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENT BOX!!

Yes this one's a must read. Bit frightening though as he goes through all the ramifications of being on our own compared to in a big trading block. Well written, accessible and head in hands time.

Under the skin by Michael Faber

Yes if you want a brilliant horror story gradually revealed. It put me off meat eating and farming generally. I was a vegan for a few hours there.

Predictably Irrational - Dan Ariely

- May 04, 2016

I love Dan Ariely's TED talks and his area of expertise ie behavioural economics. This book takes you quite slowly through a number of his theories, how they developed, his experiments, his methods, his results. Sometimes I wished it would go faster, but then I realised you kind of needed the build up and the rationale. Pretty male-students-in-University-in-USA centred, but I forgive it.

Anthills of the Savannah - Chinua Achebe

No. Probably not. Just read lots of reviews of it and literati are raving. I'm not. It ends with the moral of the story ffs. Glad I went there - to Africa in the middle of coups. But not enough plot.
