Nice book on the science behind the movie science. Not overly technical, light reading for in between.

A history of CIA/mafia/Vatican backed violence and drug trade over the world. Whether it‘s true or not, books like these are always fun to read.

Highly recommendable if you‘re into history, aviation & anecdotes. Heroic tales.

Going by the title, I expected a tinfoil hat situation, but it turned out to be an insightful read into the world of black ops and nuclear testing.

Good, thorough book. I‘m giving it a So-So because you really need to be interested in a topic like this. But if you are, then this is right up your alley.

Boomsday | Buckley

Typical Buckley and I mean that in a good way: excellent satirical view on politics and their workings in the hallways. It‘s a light but riveting read, and that‘s what I look for in a Buckley.

Dennis Hopper: On the Road | Jose Lebrero Stals
Pickpick

Saw the exhibition coupled with this book back in 2013 in Malaga, and it was an eye opener. Both to the genius that was a younger Dennis Hopper, as well as rekindling my love for photography. Find it if you‘re into pop art and the likes, and street photography.

Plan D | Simon Urban
Pickpick

One of the best works of fiction I've read in the past years. Read it 3 times: once in Dutch, twice in German. And I really recommend the German version because of the compound sentences which can easily fill half a page. The picture of a modern day version of East Germany that is painted here just works and makes you feel the gloom of that 'modern' society.

Bomber Command | Max Hastings
Pickpick

Very extensive insight in the machinations of the air war during WW2. Was a bit surprised to find that, contrary to portrayals in popular media, bombing was lacking accuracy until pretty late in the war. Can be a bit of dry read in some chapters, but if you're into it, it's worth your time.
