Thanks Paul, will do, I haven't read Seabiscuit. I really liked Unbroken, the historical facts, Hillenbrand's writing style etc. Was finishing it up last night, and hadn't realised the last 20 odd pages was the bibliography and acknowledgements, so sadly I have finished it already.

Great historically factual read about the life of an airman during the air war in the Pacific. I like the fact that, although not preaching, it does give the faith (Christian) message, which could apply really to any faith you want to pick that gives you a feeling of something uplifting, and gives you a reason to go on.

Onto the next book tonight a biography on Bruce Springsteen that I bought at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
