Having seen and read The Commitments years ago, I decided to read the remainder of the Barrytown Trilogy by Roddy Doyle. The Snapper and The Van.

I have to say whilst The Van seems to get the better reviews I preferred the darker subject matter and therefore humour of The Snapper.

I also read Floodlit Dreams by Ian Ridley, the story of a year as chairman at Weymouth FC. Not a bad little *f type book; but found his snivelling a little too much at times.

I think I need to move onto some meatier subjects; as most of my reading requires little thought of late.
