Guest alex Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Some relative thought it would be a good idea to buy me one of his books for Xmas one year. It was a compilation of his Sunday Times articles. You can't read them without having his voice in your head as you do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10663 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I kind of like his pomposity and I like his colourful use of language. I disagree with 80% of what he says though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's sort of alright reading his column over your toast on a Sunday morning but a whole book of it's a bit much. He's canny predictable too. It's all "I love humpback whales as much as the next man, I even ate one in Iceland, but now Greenpeace want to take away my Volvo Estate."

The Fish 10663 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) It's definitely only ever going to be a book for the bog. You're definitely not going to linger in there if that's your only source of entertainment. I liked the review of Moyles' book on Mock the Week (I think*); it sells itself as a toilet book, but the blurb from Davina McCaull states it's "Buttock clenchingly funny". That's how I like my irony. * come to think of it, it wasn't MTW. Edited October 6, 2009 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11274 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Aye, it was on the first episode of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. Chris Moyles, a man who has written more books than he's read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Moyles, a man who has written more books than he's read I bet there's a few people you could say that about on the current celeb circuit actually.

Sonatine 11274 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 "Chris Moyles' second book is called the Difficult Second Book, which suggests a degree of irony and self awareness largely absent from the text itself" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
