If anyone fancies a good read about prehistory then I recommend Francis Pryor's 'Home'; he may come across as a bit of a blowhard on Time Team but he sure knows his Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze/Iron Ages.
Funnily enough, just picked the book up from the library this very afternoon after having it reserved for ages. Enjoyed his other books 'BC' and 'Seahenge' immensely, so here's hoping this reads as well
Also picked up Phillip Marsden's 'On Rising Ground', which seems to be about the spirit of place....mostly relating to Cornwall by the look of chapter headings. Should be good.
Also an interesting sounding treatise called 'On Silbury' Hill by Adam Thorpe. Know his novels, but not read any of his factual/poetry stuff, looking forward to that as well.
