June 7, 201412 yr 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
June 7, 201412 yr 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.
June 7, 201412 yr Also read McGrath's as pato said, doesn't leave much out. Its amazing how the booze helped his game.
June 7, 201412 yr 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
June 7, 201412 yr 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....
June 7, 201412 yr 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.

Read the books, you'd not be disappointed
June 7, 201412 yr 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
June 7, 201412 yr 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.
June 8, 201412 yr 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
June 8, 201412 yr 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.
June 9, 201412 yr And that cricket with penguins malarkey . Jesus, proper ending to a book that was Really enjoyed that, then the first two or three lines of the last chapter were like a hammer blow.
June 9, 201412 yr 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.
June 26, 201412 yr Author sorted them out white lines-lemmy bully for you oscar -ian austin steve adlers chas hodges all autobiographies
June 26, 201412 yr 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.
June 26, 201412 yr sorted them out white lines-lemmy bully for you oscar -ian austin steve adlers chas hodges all autobiographies Lemmy one is good. Stuart MacBride books are good, along with Mark Billingham's.
