Only a couple of days left on the poll - and still all to play for. Louis de Bernieres is ahead - just!

I've read the Bill Bryson and really enjoyed it - he takes some really complex scientific debates and explains the history and the significance really well. In terms of science, it's pitched at the level I can still just about understand. Just. On a good day. I'll admit it isn't light reading in the normal sense of the term, though!

Just started on the Lance Armstrong - what an amazing guy! He won the Tour de France last weekend for a record sixth time - pretty amazing for a guy who, in 1999, discovered he had cancer. I'm really enjoying the book so far - very moving.

But I'm also looking forward to reading the Louis de Bernieres. Can't wait to see who wins.
