[jackal2006]

For the readers out there any great books you would recommend?

I am a fan of non-fiction 9/10 but would read a fiction book if it's highly recommended.

Anything by Sir Terry Pratchett... Especially right now Good Omens co written with Neil Gaiman - there is an amazing looking TV adaptation coming on Amazon Prime at the end of the month.

The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx. Seriously, how is the man still alive?
I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne. Again, how is this man still alive and I challenge you not to read it in his voice in your head.
What Does This Button Do? by Bruce Dickinson. Absolutely hilarious. Get the audiobook. Without planning it is 666 minutes long.

I've had a good time recently with Sam Kean's science books: The disappearing spoon, a jolly 'tour' through the elements of the Periodic Table; The violinist's thumb, genetics, from earliest ignorance to what what fruit flies taught us yesterday, and Caesar's last breath, what we breath and pass, air and other gases.

Thoroughly researched, and the sort of writing that makes you think of happily cognac-ed conversations by the fire after a convivial dinner party. The end-notes are as enjoyable as the mains.

Thanks for the advices. Thanks for the help, friends. I like to write an essay, I loved to do it before, at school. My classmates always asked me to help with ideas and tasks, because I did it better than anyone. Fortunately now for students and schoolchildren everything is easier. Now for students there are many online resources and essay helper online that help them write an essay without any special problems and buy college essay inexpensively. This way of doing homework saves a lot of time and resources.

Look up Jon Ronson.

Two of his books I loved were Them, and The Psychopathy Test. Both non fiction investigation reportage with a wicked British sense of fish out if water humour.
