Both are pretty good books. The former gives a fantastic account of the grease and graft behind the glitz and glamour in the F1 paddock, and shows how one can go from day-to-day mechanic in a garage in the UK to being a mechanic or engineer in a championship winning F1 team. Plus, it has some old pictures of people who've since risen to prominence in Formula One, all  wearing questionable 90s fashions, which is a major selling point.\r\n\r\nThe latter's also going to be a good book. I was going through a major Queen phase a few months ago, so I started this then, and got distracted before I could get too far into it. After reading [Queen Unseen by Peter Hince](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Queen-Unseen-Peter-Hince/dp/1843587483/ref=sr_1_1?s=books\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1366536695\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=Peter+Hince), I figured I really needed to give Phoebe Freestone's book a go.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn terms of academic reading, though, I should probably get started on a few chapters of [Personality, Individual Differences, and Intelligence] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Personality-Individual-Differences-Intelligence-Maltby/dp/0273722905/ref=sr_1_1?s=books\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1366536335\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=Maltby%2C+Day%2C+Macaskill). It seems to be quite a good book by the brief flick-through I had. I'll probably also download as many interesting journal articles as I can before I leave uni and my access gets revoked.
