Re: Books I Have enjoyed and inspired me!
Recommending good books... It would take me weeks and reams of paper (figuratively speaking). However, here are a few I have read in the last year I would recommend.
"All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr (possibly the best book I have read in the last year).
"The Wright Brothers" (Biography) by David McCullough\\
"Existence" By David Brin
"Warriors of the Storm" by Bernard Cornwell (Latest in his Empty Throne/Saxon Chroncles series)
Alexander Hamiltor (biography) by Ron Chernow (I am currently reading this one)

Re: Books I Have enjoyed and inspired me!
Well "Rise of the colossal" was a good thriller and very in detail and stayed on the main topic which was a secretive organisation trying to solve the DNA that killed people.In the book the main character was the boss and there was a good twist @ the end of the book
"The Black sheep" was very boring and I was wondering if it would ever end.
"The private Olympic Games" Very interesting ,I am currently reading it and Im half way threw it and found it very good.
