The Eurostar is a reasonably short ride, but it was made even shorter today thanks to "The Man's Book" by Thomas Fink.

The book has been added to the LL required reading list.

I'll second that (although I had it for a transatlantic flight and not a train ride).

Yes. And the author's background in Physics makes for a delightfully 'nerdy' spin on many of our favourite topics

I bought the book when I was in London last month -- really good read. The author also wrote the definitive treatise on tie knots.

Is there an LL Required Reading List?

That would be interesting.
