Some Recommendations from Alex:


Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Despite its age, this remains an excellent reminder of the timeless values of Stoic patience, honesty, and simple common sense. A surprisingly down-to-earth and straightforward guide to life for the thinking mind.


Jamie's Ministry of Food by Jamie Oliver

Don't know how to cook? This is a great place to start-recipes that are affordable, nutritious, easy to understandd and easy to cook! A must-have for students, first-time cookers or anyone looking to expand their culinary repertoire.


Shoot the Damn Dog  by Sally Brampton

An unflinchingly honest and deeply moving true story of the author's indescribable batttle with depression, one that has to be read to be believed. A truly inspiring book.
