PG Wodehouse is a legend! When I was in school, they used to give PG Wodehouses's to all the top performers of every class. You can imagine how well that worked as a motivator (well, for me atleast)

Arthur Hailey, I've only read 'In the News' which was suggested to me by my Uncle but I was really impressed by the level of detail he went into to make the whole journalism field come alive for you. I think I also have 'Wheels' somewhere in the house, I think I'll give it a read, thanks for the suggestion!

I have read wheels, great book, hailey is known for his deep deep knowledge he fishes out in writing. his "airport', a movie was made on it too, 

money changers by arthur hailey, so inspired me that my brokerage firm I started in 1991, I christened it MONEY CHANGERS. 

I haven't read in the news, I think I 'll find one soon. thanks for the suggestion.

The Chinaman by Shehan karunatilaka. Its the story of a Sri Lankan journalist's hunt for a long forgotten and legendary, with extraordinary records, A player called Pradeep Mathew. An utterly amazing read, both for cricket lovers and others too:)

DS, Sir Arthur, what a genius. You may not be knowing him much, this was a man who was about to give a speech on spirituality, and he receives a telegram of his son's death in battle, he still gave his speech dry eyed. I adore him dude.
