The Candy Machine: How Cocaine Took Over the World 
by Tom Feiling

Although this is non-fiction it is compelling, fluid and I had trouble putting the book down. It explains how the cocaine industry evolved, how it works, what damage it does to supplier and transit nations including Colombia, Mexico and Jamaica and how turning drugs into a moral question has produced a series of laws wasting enormous amounts of money without making any difference.

Bringing Down the House
By Ben Mezrick

This is Mezrick’s first non-fiction book, he writes about an inside story of how a group of six MIT students brought down the casinos by counting cards in blackjack, not illegal but forbidden by most casinos. A descriptive and informative book making it a good read. Although based on a true story, Mezrick has added many fictional elements to the story which didn’t take place in real life.

Stillness And Speed: My Story 
by Dennis Bergkamp

The way Bergkamp speaks about the game is 
unlike 99% of pundits and ex-players: insightful, thoughtful and forward-thinking. The philosophy of a true footballing genius regarding his sport.   Wonderful insight into a very private personality. If we could incorporate his philosophy into our game, maybe there's hope for us yet.  If you're an Arsenal fan it’s a must read.
