Park Life 71 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Cheers, I'll keep it in mind. Got an absolute mountain of books to read at present like. I love it when I have a pile of good books waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15561 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just finished Will Aitken - "Terre Haute". Standard-issue gay coming-of-age/older male seduction scenario. Reasonably atmospheric but nowt special. Now in the middle of JT Leroy's "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things", which is about as disturbing as I'd expected so far. Meanwhile, the book mountain in the corner currently includes Brookmyre's "A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil" and that "All Played Out" book about Italia '90 that everyone says is class. Oh and I've just ordered this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Onions-Our-Dumb-Wo...0814&sr=8-1 Flicked through it in HMV the other day and made a right twat of myself giggling every few seconds, so I had to really.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3904 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Wife bought me the his dark materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. His attempt to write in somekind of street vernacular is very tiresome and is putting me off the books.

Park Life 71 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Just started. "The House of Meetings" by Martin Amis. It's quite a short book, which is bothering me now cause it is really well written and I already don't want it to end. Mart needs to knuckle down and deliver another big novel in the vein of "The Information". Edited January 19, 2008 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3367 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Raced through "And they wonder why we drink?" Not as good as Billy's first but fuck, it's not as if the football was any good anyway.

Craig 6682 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm reading Richard Hammond's autobiography. Not surprisingly the majority of the book concentrates on his accident and the recovery afterwards. Well written though and it's part written by his missus who accounts for how she dealt with things - alternates between the two of them and often they're cover the same point in time but obviously from two very different perspectives.

Seems like this historical fiction lark is the only thing I can get into - which is wierd cos I hate history . Then again I love science fiction movies but hate books on the subject. I love the Eagle books very good historically. Me too until the 6th one, got very silly and characters became shallow. Sadly nowhere near the consistency of Cornwell. Try Conn Igguldens Emperor series absolutely fantastic (first one shows he's a new writer - the writting style - but he hits his stride towards the end of it and the rest are excellent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine. I've used this on and off for the last five years, but only for finals revision have I actually realised how brilliant this book is. Information on practically every medical or surgical condition or situation, advice on how to be a good doctor, and best of all little nuggets of philosophy and literature on medicine, life and death that draw on Jung, Twain, Steinback and more. I think I've got Stockholm Syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Provided you don't kiss me, 20 years with Brian Clough by Duncan Hamilton Winner of the William Hill Sports book of the year 2007 award "Look Duncan, you're a journalist. One day you'll write a book about this club. Or, more to the point, about me. So you may as well know what I'm thinking and save it up for later when it won't do any harm to anyone."
