I'm looking for a bit of advice on which book to buy my dad for his birthday. He's always enjoyed Clarkson and Bryson, but I'd like to get him something a bit different. It would be nice to see some book reviews from some other dads.
Thanks!

What are his interests?
One I got as a result of reading Bill Brysons Short Histroy of Nearly Everything was a book called 'a gap in Nature' - if he has any interest in Natural History - it's quite a moving account of recent extinctions.
Hi
This is certainly a good time of year to buy as the Christmas autobiographies are all out - there is always something good in there.
Stieg Larsson has written a trilogy of books which are very good and well worth reading - thriller
If he likes rugby I would also recommend the new Ian McGeechan autobiography .
Happy shopping
Mario
