Not on the bedside as such but has been read laying around the house with the cricket on. Got it for Xmas yesterday off Rachelle.
Crossing the Ditch. James Castrisson
It is the story of the 2 guys who paddled a kayak from Australia to NZ last year. Good read so far. Just past halfway.

My sister in law gave me a copy of "Tall Man" by Chloe Hooper to browse through on Christmas Day. It brought back many memories of Hell in paradise.

Just finished a fantastic non-fiction book my FIL (bit of an old man of the sea) gave me. Ship of Gold In The Deep Blue Sea by Gary Kinder. Fantastic tale of modern day treasure hunters mixed in with the history of the treasure they're searching for. Loved it.

Just finished the latest Ian Rankin book. He needs to bring Rebus out of retirement.
Also read the Snowball, by Alice Schroeder, a bio on Warren Buffett. If nothing else reinforces the power of compounding.

Reading "The Wolf of Wall Street" by Jordan Belfort.
A very entertaining account of his rise and fall. Some insane living from a young and rich securities trader.

At the moment im reading 'The story of Edgar Sawtelle' by David Wroblewski.
Its fairly uninteresting, but Im over half way so I will finish it.
I love reading Wilbur Smith books because of the amount I travel on the train everyday..they really dissasociate myself from the rest of the train population. I can start reading and before I know it I am at Parliament Station.
Also, a good true story book I have read is Marching Powder. (it's probably already been mentioned in this thread) Its about a weird jail in Bolivia written by an Australian Lawyer who was living there with an english drug smuggler. Pretty interesting read.Nothing to see here!!
