Gone To Texas being the first? As a sidenote, Garth Ennis is responsible for the new look Punisher as well.

Re: Comics/Graphic Novels
Does having a collection of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers count?
Or Geoffrey the Tube Train and the Fat Comedian by Alexei Sayle.


Ok. Not as much death, destruction and oiled muscles of some of the more fantasy comics around, but good stuff nonetheless..

Re: Read anything good recently?
I'm more in to fact based books than novels, but I've enjoyed a few of them Lee Child books over the last few years as well.
I like a good autobiography or the telling of a true story. I get bored of most novels about half way through, start another book and then end up having about five or six different books on the go, none of which that are particularly interesting me!

Can anyone recommend something new fact based books then? I've completely exhausted my personal library.

Just started The Long Way Round, the one where Ewan McGregor and his mate go round the world on motorbikes. Loved the TV show and the book is so far living up to it.

Are You Dave Gorman is pretty sweet and will make you do a little wee if you read it in bed. Again a book from the TV show. Highly recommended.

Re: Read anything good recently?
pat,

Into thin air is bollocks mate.

Read the unbiased account by mountain legend Anatoli Boukreev who wrote The Climb.

Karakuer has been criticized by mountaineering associations as not being faithful to the events as they occurred, especially since it was Boukreev going up and down from Camp 4 to rescue climbers while Krakauer was sitting...waiting to be rescued.

Re: Read anything good recently?
Kieslowski on Kieslowski is a great read, he is the director who made the three colour films. Also scorsese on scorsese and the projection series are sound film books.

its not about the bike, lance armstrong

Gray - YPC is an unknown quantity
Re: Read anything good recently?
I'm into the SAS genre ones like Andy McNab and Chris Ryan, and they are always a decent read. The first few were the best mind!!

Frederick Forsyth has been a good read, the 2 I've read (Avenger and onther I can't rememebr the name of)

Mein Kampf - amazing to think that world leaders trusted Hitler when almost everything he went on to do was foretold in a book written by himself years earlier.

Re: Comics/Graphic Novels
Batman Year One is superb, And Year Two is also very good, though not quite as impressive (Batman Begins borrows heavily from Year One)

I got Batman: Hush for xmas - absolutely amazing graphic novel, must have almost every single Batman character in it.

I'd reccomend those two football books for you, especially Morbo, it's class. Another one that will inform you and give you a new perspective on some stuff is the autobiography of Malcom X. See him change from street hustler to civil rights revolutionary and see his attitudes to race alter as he goes. He states that he knows he's going to be killed in it, how odd it must be to know you will be assasinated?
