Looks quality pal, gets some very good write ups.

Before I plunge into the murky waters of Anglo-American/Saudi oil history I'm reading 'The Red Badge of Courage', very short book (approx. 130 pages) profiling two days in the life of a soldier during the American Civil War. It's always in those '100 books to read before you die' lists and I wanted something that'd only take a few days, pretty decent.

Just got "Finger Prints of The Gods" by Graham Hancock delivered. I should make a start on that in the next few days.

Hemingway's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' people always sound surprised when I say I don't really like old Ernest and this has been recommended as the book that could change my mind. Only about 50 pages in and it's not bad, nothing life changing either though

Sauzee not with you Hemingway realy does it for me prefer "a farewell to arms" to that though. think his descriptive writing is top notch.!

Always been a big fan of reading crime, Chandler is a classic, I love the vibe in his books and some of the people Marlowe meets are hilarious and truly tragic stories.

The first edition or was that just the first image you came across?

I'm about to start this as well.

nh not the first that would have been a bargin, just the coolest picture on google image search

gonna start it on the night shift next week.

trautmans story - from hitler youth to the cup final (something like that) - excellent
and, the first sherlock holmes book - study in scarlett, brilliant.
two books at the same time!

I'm having another crack at 'House of Leaves'

Scared the shit out of me about 5 years ago.

Italy (and Italian football) for all its corruption just intrigues me. The most recent book on Italian football that I'm reading, A Season with Verona, excellent read so far....

Not been the best of reads only half waty through at the min.

Hull City Psycho's

I've just finished both 'Cash - The Autobiography' and Alex James 'Bit of a Blur' Not bad albeit a bit repetitive, especially the Alex James book.



I'm going to start 'Apples' by Richard Milward tomorrow.



Also, I've been given a book called 'The Miracle of Castel di Sangro' which sounds really interesting!

Cocky is a good read ...

Finished the Chandler book last week, read a danish novel called the Scorpion, a brilliant book from the 50's. It's fiction but based on the black market in Copenhagen in the post-war years. Widespread corruption in the police, ties from the upperclass to the underworld, massive cover-ups etc etc. It's written in a very witty fashion and highly influenced by the author's (Hans Scherfig) left-wing views. It's basically one long critique of the authoritarian bourgeoisie. Not sure if there's a translation to english but it is a brilliant book.

As I haven't got any internet or tv-signal in my new flat (and my playstation isn't working!!!!) I'm reading a lot at the moment. Yesterday I decided to start reading this from cover to cover.

if only it was fun...

Just brought Shaun Ryders autobiography , will let you know what it s like.

Re-reading a Damon Runyon biography.

Currently reading:

The Lost Revolution - couldn't recommend it highly enough to anyone with an interest in contemporary Irish history - fascinating stuff.
