I get a lot more out of reading history than fiction, and there are so many greats choc full of life lessons. A few that really stand out:
Nicolas and Alexandra - ignore the little people at your own peril
The Guns of August - political leaders have no idea what they’re doing
The Right Stuff - some people are willing to do anything to get that sensation of living on the edge
