Re: What book are you currently reading?
Just finished Paul McGraths book Back From the Brink which was a good honest account of his life so far. Definately a flawed genius.
I am currently reading My War by Colby Buzzell it's an American soldiers story in Iraq.

Yeah its good, the fella who writes it though is a grimsby fan so he harks on about being a lower level supporter is often better than supporting someone like us and he hails Newcastle as some sort of super club which made me laugh.
If you like being a bit of a footie anorak then Id read it.

Ian Rush's
Only started it last night so here's a review of the first chapter:
First Chapter Review, By Jnp, Aged 23 years, Basingstoke
It's really good so far.

It's ace, more for the insight it gives into different cultures in the different regions of Spain than the football. I really liked it.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Having been sitting next to a pool for the week I have read the following...
"Don't Cry For Me Aberystwyth" by Jasper Fforde, the latest Louie Knight novel, and back on track after a relatively disappointing third outing.
"Pies and Prejudice" by Stuart Maconie, which is a great travel guide/humourous sociological survey of 'up North. Very, very funny.
"The Last King of Scotland" by Giles Foden, which deals with a chap who is the personal doctor to Idi Amin. I wanted to read this before watching the film, which was very good, by all accounts.
I have also had the dubious honour of reading the "Daily Mirror" every day, looking for the FACT to be reported. I have wiped my arse with more interesting pieces of paper. (True actually, as we were so poor when I was young we had to sometimes resort to newspaper. My "dear parents" always seemed to have money for booze and fags, though...)

The Daily Mirror is ok - worth the 40p for McGovern & Reade alone & then there is ' Scorer '.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Currently reading Compton Mackenzies whisky galore and I am laughing out loud.
I thought I'd post this bit as I thought it was good.
There is no whisky on the island and the beer is running low now also. The islands oldest inhabitant has just been refused his third pint as the bar is rationing it to two per man. he has stormed out of the hotel in rage.
Later on the doctor enters the bar and enquires after the old man
'Did the captain seem alright when he left here earlier'
he was told about therationing situation.
'Well the shock has killed him' the doctor announced
'and I'm not suprised'
'for the last 15 years he drank his three drams of whisky and 3 pints of beer every night and on such a tonic he might have lived till 100. He's not had a drop of whisky for 12 days and before that only 1 dram a night for nearly a month. Now tonight he wasn't able to get his 3rd pint of beer. Well it's killed him.
Top comedy book.
