My wife always gets annoyed with the amount of books I buy. When I started teaching about eight years ago my reading quickly diminished as guilt came upon me every time I picked up a good piece of fiction – ‘I could be doing some work!’. Eventually I realised that reading non-fiction both stimulated my curiosity and creativity whilst easing the pang of guilt associated with ‘wasting time’. However, this has led to me buying a lot of books…but hey, reading keeps you thinking!

I have read and re-read all of these books more than once (well not the last one as that’s a blatant plug..)
