Going on holiday (look at me, etc) and need a book.

Like biographies and books about random stuff - for context, last books read:

Any ideas for something decent?

Sports - Raging Bull by Jake La Motta. You read this and it makes the film a massive disappointment and has a twist that I didn't see coming and was pretty wild. Massively honest and brutal, probably the best sporting book I've read.

Historical Fantasy - The Wolf of the Plains. The life of Ghengis Khan, very easy read, extremely wild and follows a lot of the history. Absolutely great 5 book series but book 1 is the best.

Fiction - Dostoyevsky - Crime and Punishment, fascinating book that focuses on the mind if a young man who thinks the world owes him something, murder, politics, psychology, has it all really.

An old one, but The Code Book by Simon Singh is great and I go back to it often.
