"The most enjoyable book was St Peter’s by Keith Miller (Profile), a witty and entertaining account of the most famous church in the world, still standing firm against the tides of tourism that swirl around it. As Miller makes clear, St Peter’s has always been far more than a church. The most disturbing book of the year was Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia by John Gray (Allen Lane). This is Gray’s most powerful argument yet against the scientific idealists who think they can blueprint a benevolent end-state utopia. Their attempt, Gray argues, has led to the ruined utopias we see around us, and the return of repressed religious belief in its most frightening form. A brilliant polemic, probably best read on the steps of St Peter’s."

I have one by him called The Book of Revelation. Waiting for a suitably abject moment to read it.
Oh, I'm phlegmatic too.
It was one I bought solely based on it's cover - turned out to be a good buy. Another gem I bought because of a great cover that turned out to be awesome was The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman http://www.aquabooks.ca/images/peculiar.jpg
