Last couple books I read were:

Stewart Lee - How I escaped my certain fate. Great insider's perspective on the stand up industry. Cope gets a mention too as a much admired stage presence (from around the time of Brain Donor I think)

Bill Bryson - Notes from a small island. This time it is an outsider's view on this great nation of ours - the kind of observations we are probably too close to and take as given which illuminate our psychology. Of course most people probably read it about 15 years ago.

Now reading The education of Hyman Kaplan. Recommended to me by a student in one of the adult education courses I support. It is more of an ESOL class than the classes I work in, but still of interest.
