Need to knock my amazon order up to £25 so i can get free postage and packing. That means another £8, so anyone know of any decent books? I'm open to all suggestions apart from Karma Sutra.

"Jennifer Government" by Max Barry.

Very funny satire about a future world where everything is run by huge corporations.

Ok update, ordered Jennifer Government and a book called 'Guns Up' by Johnnie M. Clark. Guns Up was a great book although it did seem to read more like fiction compared to other biographical accounts on Vietnam i've read(eg Dispatches, If I Die in a Combat Zone, A Rumor of War, The Short-Timers and The Phantom Blooper both of which are available to read free online here http://www.gustavhasford.com/home.htm Short-Timers is the book Full Metal Jacket was based on)

Jennifer Government was fairly good although i think some of the satire was lost on me.
