A large collection of US submarine stories, They did a lot after WWII, including a lot of spying on Russian military activity.
Saxon 4
Bernard Cornwall
Historally-based, but not true, yarn about life in the time of Alfred the Great - when he built Burhs to prevent the Danes from causing havoc.
Lolita
Vladamir Nabukov
Incredible use of erudite words (used the dictionary features of Kindle a lot) well-written but nonetheless disturbing. Liked some aspects of the "plot".
The View from Here: Life at Seventy
Joan Bakewell
Well-written. Known as "The Thiking Man's Crumpet" She covers a myriad of subjects - worth a read if you enjoy time travel.
The Year of Living Danishly
Helen Russell
A lot of stories of how the Danes think and live with some comparisons with the English, specifically the high-pressure Londoners.
Seveneves
Neal Stephenson
His latest, pretty good, set in the IZZY - The International Space Station as the moon collapses. Not entirely credible, but some interesting ideas.
