Jackie Stewart: Winning is Not Enough - The Autobiography. 9/10. A great sports bio from the wee Scot. This guy gets life and people in general. It helped that he had a solid family life as a kid. Besides being a champion race car driver, target-shooter, successful international businessman and iconic television commentator...his humility, wit and sense of humor tranlsate excellently into writing. Over 500 pages - never a dull moment.
The Talented Mr. Ripley - Patricia Highsmith. 8/10. Infuriating to see Matt Damon's face on the cover of such an excellent book. I would have saw through the ruse real early, but this is a well-written and enjoyable crime novel. Enter into the mind of a perfectly well-mannered maniac.
