Surely You Can’t Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane! by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker
Covers the career of the makers (ZAZ) and the long path to writing, pitching, pre-production and making of the classic movie. As well as reactions to it. 4/5
All these worlds by Dennis E Taylor
3rd book in Bobverse trilogy . Worth it if you liked the others. The Bobs deal with deaths of their human friends and most plots are wrapped up. 3/5
The Two-Penny Bar by Georges Simenon
Following a cold case Maigret gatecrashes the weekend gathering of a group of friends when one is unexpectedly murdered. Felt a little unrealistic at times. 3/5
The Car: The Rise and Fall of the Machine That Made the Modern World by Bryan Appleyard
A general history of the car with a bit of speculation about it’s future. A smooth and interesting read. 4/5
