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. ~~~~~~~~~~ _X/

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/ ~~~~~~~~~~ "we are our own devil, we are our own devil.... and we''ll make this world our hell"

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. ~~~~~~~~~~ _X/
