Holiday reading (non finance)

Hey monkeys, Would appreciate a few recommendations for books I want to download as audio books. Already have a tonne of technical books from work, so just looking for something light and inspirational for the flight (e.g.: Full House, Alchemist e.t.c.).

SBs for links to audio-book download links.

 

If you have any interest in physics or the universe in general, A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking isn't very term- or formula-heavy, but a very interesting read.

 

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is hilarious if you haven't read it. Hilarious.

I'll also recommend both of Tim Ferriss's books: The Four Hour Work Week and The Four Hour Body - both fascinating.

^^^^^^^ same guy recently came out with a follow up - "A$$holes Finish First". some pretty humorous stories and a quick read

"I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people"
