Ended up putting Ilan Pappe's book down and forgetting about.
Finished Childhood's End. First sci-fi novel I have read and it was cracking. Really enoyed it.
Finished Claire Fox's book as well and it was decent.
Off the back of that book, as mentioned during it, I am going to start on Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publically Shamed next and try to get back into the Ilan Pappe's.
