Haway man lads, I'm trying to start an intellectual thread here, what Book are you reading???

 

"a blood dimmed tide-dispatches from the middle east" by amos elon detailing the middle east troubles and the peace process . i wondered why everyone hates the israelies

 

Redemption ' the stanley tookie williams story ', just started reading it.

 

passionford

 

I normally stick to Chick lit but I'm venturing out to other stuff now. I'm only asking as I need ideas for my Christmas book list. I absolutely love Jane Fallon and Marion Keyes but I've read all they have to offer so I'm looking for something else to capture my imagination!!

 

oh i see!

chopper 2. how to shoot friends and influence people by mark brandon read

 

I didn't mean literally lol!!

 

Readers wives and 50+ .lol.

 

Is it good lol!!

 

penthouse 1986 september

 

Readers wives has some right swamp donkeys in it , but 50+ has some quite nice old dears in it ,lol

 

Reading this Costa Del Crime for some reason read it many times but bored so may as well read it again. Read this to get a more in depth view to what happens in the area, bit like your daily paper back in England, and peope think the UK is fooked up with crime and other nationatilities although they are from the european union but do jump on the band wagon etc, try living in Spain and see how the Spanish take it.

Superb book mate, you'll enjoy it.

I'm reading 'Living History' which is Hillary Clinton's boigraphy. Maybe not the most interesting read to most on here but something to get my teeth into and I like something that stimulates the mind.

 

When I was born, thats tripped me out that


I'm reading Children Of The Matrix by David Icke. Pretty deep stuff

 

Same here, I've sat on Bobby Robsons autobiography for months before I've actually started reading it.

I love him to bits and when I found out that he's losing his battle against cancer I decided to read his book that I have signed. I remember when he came to Newcastle and the tussles that he had with the Newcastle players so to read it and make my own judgement based on what he has said has really changed my opinion of some of the people in football who I would have held in high regard.

 

If you like a really good read Claire, you might want to try a title called 'Monster' by Sanyika Shakur aka Kody Scott. It's all about an Amercian Crip - maybe not you cuppa tea at first glance but a really inspiring story that you'll struggle to put down. Tookie's Redemption as already mentioned is in the same vein along with John Simpson's book 'Strange Places, Questionable People'. Superb story.

 

andy mcnab - immediate action

 

I love page turners. There's nothing worse than getting to the end of a chapter and thinking..... no it's gone half 12 I should really put this book down!!

Thing is though the book has to grip me in the first few pages or I just get bored!!

 

slash from guns n roses autobiography

 

Anthony Keidis Lead Singer from Red Hot Chilli Peppers Autobiography.... Brilliant dont know how he's still alive!

 

Those are the best books, when the give you an insight into their world, and you think shit you lived like that and your still here to tell the tale!!

I remember going to watch Skid Row in concert and watching the video and reading Sebs book afterwards and still thinking, shit how much JD did you really consume lol!!!!!!!

 

The Howard Marks ones are another good read

 

same here at the moment i am reading "scar tissue" by anthony kiedis

last few books i have read have been

"carra" jamie carraghers autobiography which was very honest and good to read

gangs by ross kemp which makes you realise how fortunate you are to live in a better country than others

ed macys apache was really good adrenaline pumping action start to finish

and last but by no means least joe calzaghes- no ordinary joe, which was a really gripping book

 

i bet he bought a drug lord a very nice house over the years !! i bet he had more drugs than blood in his system at one time !

 

To be honest when I was into Skid Row I was still at School but since leaving School and having a mind of my on I fully understand!!

Here's Seb at his best..........................

'Cocky' - the story about Curtis Warren is a bit of an eye opener as well.

 

Just started In Search of Captain Zero by AC Weisbecker, which has been sat on my shelf for ages
i read Cosmic Bandito's a few years ago, after a friend from work thought i might like it and it was great

 

Aliens, no exit !

 

Nice one. im only a few pages in, but ive seen a few documentaries on tookie, defo a life that intrigues me

 

Shame he`s not here now tho, i read redemption and it was good, a bit of boasting in it but a general good story


I like stuff closer to home, like paul ferris etc from areas near where i live, it makes books even more realer than theyare

Saying that i read the krays book in cyprus this year and it was pish, nothing but a boasting pile of shite, theres a kray on every street corner now, just like ferris said in his books, every corner you turn theres a paul ferris waiting to greet you
