Any recommendations not partitilarly on the subject of cycling
I haven't read for a while now, I must return to it I used to be an avid reader of mainly non fiction, such as the Oliver Sacks series of books and his Autobiography style book Uncle Tungsten.

If you like stuff on the history of science & technology, these were both brilliant reads with a decent "well I never knew that...." factor:

You don't need to be a dyed-in-the-wool computer whiz to appreciate either of them. Apologies for using links to known tax-dodgers.

I read Bounce by Mathew Syed just before christmas.
A book devoted to debunking the myth of natural talent in elite sports.
That led to me buying Outliers by Malcom Gladwell,
A book explaining why some people or some groups of people are more likely to succeed in every thing from sport to business.
Or if you just like reading humerous nonsense then the Mysteryman series by Bateman are a good way to spend a few hours.
