Alright simple concept here. I have over 300 books in my house just to start reading right now not including what I have read. I am going to post three options to start and you are going to give me an opinion on what sounds like it will be a good read to you. The first three will be:

Four Hats in the Ring: The 1912 Election and the Birth of Modern American Politics.

The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI. The Worlds most Astonishing Number.

The Childrens Blizzard: A story of a massive weather change on the Dakota-Nebraska Border in 1888.

I have read this book. I read it years and years ago yet for some reason never did anything about checking out Terry Pratchett. I checked out all Neil Gaiman's (the other author involved) work though.

I dont remember where you said you were reading the discworld series but i think that author did a joint work on a book call Good Omens... Its a really funny book about the end of the world and I really recommend it if you like Terry's work/

Both of your ideas looked interesting. The former more so than the latter to me. I intend to look deeper but I checked them out in brief on paperbackswap. Thank you for your input. Also I must add I will be doing this every time I get stuck between staring at all the titles on my shelves and not knowing what to read. Which is often. There will be a different set altogether next time.
