    Got the Teddy Atlas book think I'd read on here that it was a good read. half way through it my kindle broke so have to wait but I've found it an easy read. Also mentions Teddys first analogy only had the one so far though :-(

    Would recommend it the stuff on Tyson has been good but think I'm getting on to the rest of his career now have to wait for my new Kindle to come though

    Atlas book is a great read, one of my favourites.

    Has anyone read Bomber Graham's book yet?

    Finished the Atlas book the other night would really recommend it, really well written and a very quick read.

    Anyone read/got Tapia's book? I'm considering trying to locate a copy as Tapia comes across as a cool - if ****ing insane - bloke and I figure his book would be interesting at the very least...

    Will do my best to get a copy of it as soon as then. Tapia always comes across as pretty open and honest anytime he's interviewed - I take it the book is like that?
