dont generally do books, seem to have attention issues that prevent it

 

however NZ television is so appallingly bad that I gave The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a whirl

 

cracking read. now midway through the 2nd of the trilogy

They are superb books, I didn't think the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo could be bettered but imo the 3rd book is the best of the trilogy

If you liked that trilogy I'm currently reading The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair which has a few similarities in style. It's about 600 odd pages but about 3/4 way through and am really enjoying it.

Also read McGrath's as pato said, doesn't leave much out. Its amazing how the booze helped his game.

100 year old man who climbed out the window was last summer

 

oh and as a cricket fan, a couple are fatty batter (which i loved) and cricket with the penguins or similar which wasnt bad

Top bloke is Paul McGrath.

 

I'm still reading through the Star Wars books but I'm with BD on Dean Koontz, speaking of which, has anyone seen the Odd Thomas movie yet? Dunno if it got released in UK...I know they had some issues with it....

Jules, I saw the Odd Thomas film a few months back. Not sure if it was released properly but easy to find on the usual sites.

 

Never read any of the books, but as a film in its own right it was okay. Not shite but nothing special either. 6.5/10.

Just reading matt le tissier, taking the tiss. It's very good.

I don't know the usual sites as I don't download fillings and that!

 

Read the books, you'd not be disappointed

One Night in Turin? That the Pete Davies book? They renamed it after that TV programme ?

 

Used to be called All Played Out. Either way you're right. Best football book ever

And that cricket with penguins malarkey . Jesus, proper ending to a book that was

The Passage by justin Cronin. 1st of a trilogy - horror, end of the world everything's gone to shit type of thing. Very, very good.

 

Think The Stand meets The Walking Dead.

Just read Rick Steins autobiography....it's shit

I can well imagine as he seems a dour cunt

I can never be arsed reading these days on holiday now I need readers :(

Audiobooks are the answer.

I enjoyed Craig Bellamys autobiography 

a kindle is the answer

Kindle App is the answer.

nah

 

not unless its a device that can cope with sunlight

Have you tried swatting mozzies with a kindle

Really enjoyed that, then the first two or three lines of the last chapter were like a hammer blow.

if you liked penguins, you'd love fatty batter

I've just read the nowhere men whilst I was away on the recommendation of garrp on here I think. Gives an insight into how old school football scouts are dealing with the influx of statisticians in football.

I thought it was terrible and stopped reading 3/4 through. Seems to feel hugely sorry for himself all the time.

 

Just reading Mark Wards book (maybe one for pabbers) good honest account of a more interesting time of footballers Imo.

Lemmy one is good.

 

Stuart MacBride books are good, along with Mark Billingham's.
