American Subcultures (Louis Theroux) - a written follow up to his tv show from the 90's where he attempts to catch up on all the characters he met while filming the documentary - the male porn star, the racist guys, the prostitute in Nevada, the UFO freaks. Really good fun and his writing style is as witty and humourous as his TV shows.
currently reading Black Hawk Down. Totally addicted, way more shocking, graphic and ultimately a lot better than the (excellent) film.
next up is The Shankill Butchers. Cant wait, have heard great things about it.
