If you want to be scared out of your mind when next you fly to Moscow; then read Zone 22 by Tig Hague. The shocking story of a young Englishman's struggle to survive the brutal, corrupt, almost medieval conditions of a prison camp in Putin's Russia - a gripping contemporary story in the tradition of Papillion and Midnight Express.

The Man in the Iron Mask, a cracker of a read but hard work in French.

I'd just get in a couple of Porridge DVDs and call it a night.

"Just when every one else had given up and were crying like girls one of them said OH Pappilon save us cos you're great. So I did. Cos I'm great and everyone else was rubbish and soft"

pretty much sums it up
