I know there was a book thread here somewhere but i cant find it so heres a new one.......untill someone makes a cunt of me by bringing the old one to my attention

I've just finished reading John Grishams The Appeal, its a really good read about a small time law firms case against a large chemical company, Grisham has got the law thrillers down by now and this one is agood example of him doing it right.

Just started a trilogy of books about the troubles in Northern Ireland called The Dirty War, The Shankhill Butchers and Stone Cold, I'm only on book one at the minute but its really interesting its about the British and Irish goverments using the paramilitaries for their own gain and the double and triple agents that were rife in the early days of the recent troubles (1968 onwards. The ting must be 2 thousand pages though its very fucking daunting

I'm reading "Speaker of the Dead" by Orson Scott Card, a followup of "Ender's Game."

Just read Watchmen and The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole.

Currently reading Bad Science by Ben Goldacre and Belching Out the Devil: Global Adventures with Coca-Cola by Mark Thomas.

Just finished The Hit Charade by Tyler Gray.

I am about to begin A Lion's Tale by Chris Jericho.

Just finished Fire and Sword by Simon Scarrow, going to start Wall Games by Michael Dodds.

Enjoy. It's a great read.

I too have just finished reading Watchmen & am undecided to either start The Colour Of Magic by Terry Pratchett or start re-reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

Currently reading The Stand by Stephen King, and am gonna tear into the Ted Dibiase autobiography afterwards. And then start the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin.

Gazza, my story. The Damned united is my next read then the Bromley Boys.

Gazza's book I found to be very self pitying. Nothing was ever his fault. Was an ok read, but not a patch on either Paul McGrath's or Tony Adams's IMO.

Currently reading Slash - It may seem excessive, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Great read, but how in the name of shit is he not dead?

I have heard Mc Graths book is supposed to be a clinker, a friend of mine has promised it to me on many occassions, I'll probably end up buying it myself!

I read that, it's a pussy cat compared to The Dirt by Motley Crue!

In the book I think he's too nice to Axel for legal reasons (more to do with the hassle of them than financial reasons) which takes a bit of a shine off of it.


I don't think there's too much self pity in the Gazza book, he admits to doing really stupid things but it's begger's belief why he didn't get any help sooner.

not had too much chance to read much lately but i'm just at the start of blades business crew.

The Bromley Boys - The story of following the worse football team in Britain by Dave Roberts.

Zulu Hart by Saul David, bloody good,

Trying to get into Gulliver's Travels, not really finding it easy to do so at the minute. Just finished Peter Shilton's book which is good, skipped over a lot though for someone who had scrapbooks of his career, pretty good read though for a modern legend of the game.

Gonna start re-reading some Terry Pratchett stuff I think. I don't have anything on the go which is unreal for me!

Fatherland, which is good.

Read Risk: The Science and Politics of Fear by Dan Gardner and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon last week. About to start reading The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood.

Curious Incident... is a cracking book, his follow-up "A Spot of Bother" is a good read too if you're looking for one for afterwards.

Have just finished Angels & Demons and have started reading Fight Club again.

Got quite a few books for my birthday a couple of weeks ago so I'm set for now but I'll probably give that a look when I get through them all.

Currently reading Sir Alan Sugar: The Biography.
