I have that book here and another by her as well, got them free from amazon with some vouchers i earned doing surveys for a company online. Not bad books but they do take a bit of reading so you dont feel completely lost.

The other book i have of hers is Food for Fitness, which again covers some of the info in the Sports Nutrition book but has slightly more recipes to make up your own foods. Both books are good books from my reads through them and cater for all goals/food plan requirements I just need to sort out a food plan and stick to it.

Recipes probably won't be too great for me considering I'm vegan! I was more interested in this book because of the science of it to help me with my job, plus I love reading this stuff anyway!

Ok the science side she covers very well for all diets bar it seems vegan. She does cover the vegitarian side of things so i dont know if this can be adapted to be turned into a vegan system or not.

Just flipping through I can see she's put a few vegan options in which is great. Looks like a good read!

Finished Bones to Ashes last night and really enjoyed it I bought Making Money yesterday but Mic has pinched it and taken it to work so I'll probably read Book of the Dead while I wait for him to finish it

On my holiday I read 6 books - most of them James Patterson and the last one being Wild Swans by Jung Chang.

I tried to read Wild Swans a while ago, but the stuff about the Communists etc confused me so I gave up, but am glad I managed to complete it!

Amazing book - difficult to think that it is real in parts.

PS - Sam your Patterson is in the post today - SO SORRY!!!

Currently coming to the end of two really good books at the moment

The Last Lecture By Randy Pausch. Really really inspirational read about one of the professors at Carnegie Melon University who has developed pancreatic cancer. I believe his last lecture was entitled Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams and was a bit of an internet phenomenon. As I say really inspirational and well worth the money.

The other book I am reading is The Devils Teeth. It's a first hand account of a reporter working at the Farralone Islands 30 miles off the coast of San Franciso. Essentiallty it's her account of working with some experts on Great White Sharks. Really good read if you want to learn about the behaviour of Great White's and some of the pioneering research that has gone on at The Farallones. Certainly helps dispel some of the myths about them thats for sure
