Never heard of him. :winking:

 

[Napster]

David Hepworth's book on 1971 in music.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just started Tom Bower's critical biography of Tony Blair:Broken Vows.

Looks like a good read.Timely too, considering TB's media assault at the weekend and inevitable re-appearance when Chilcott is eventually released.

After Roots to the 92, I'm on Rock Stars Stole My Life by Mark Ellen.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoyed F.Scott Fitzgerald's short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

A one euro bargain bilingual audio book from El Pais.

Quite different from the rather weak film adaption.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoying Andy Beckett's Promised you a Miracle: Why 1980-82 made Modern Britain.

Excellent political and social history of the period.

Just a little plug!

- 4,001 visitors to the website as of this morning www.rootstothe92.co.uk
- five star ratings on Amazon (and some from whom I don't even know who they are!)
- plenty of likes etc on the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RootsToThe92/

Need to sell a few more tho to get to my aim of funding season tickets for my son and me next season which have not yet purchased but hope to get there - will be selling copies at MTBD. So in the end Uncle Ron gets the dosh from the book:smile:

Another plug.This time for Charles Davis's Hitler, Mussolini and Me.

It's hilariously funny and extremely well written.

Available on Amazon.

(Should add that Charles is a mate and an ex-EFL teacher).

Look who's back by Timur Vermes. Very very good.

Flat out and flat broke - Perry McCarthy.

Forward by Damon Hill - "If you are ever blessed enough to meet Perry, he will first ask you how much money you have on you,then how much you can get, and finally if you could give it to him so he can go racing.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Bronson by funnily enough Charles Bronson.

 

[leeblue]

Hitting the road Dahl books with my six year old daughter. BFG and the witches done. Storytelling at its best bringing back great memories for me and new wonders for my little girl.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Tony Garnett's excellent Memoir: The Day the Music Died.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just started Nina Stibbe's Paradise Lodge.Very funny.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

nearly finished Day Of The Triffids. i'm really enjoying it, i like the post-war English horror. i think there's something very unsettling about that traditional English horror

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

i'm now reading LABOUR’S IDENTITY CRISIS - England and the Politics of Patriotism for work. it's interesting but makes for fairly depressing reading as a Labour supporter

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Currently reading Svetlana Alexievich's Second-Hand Time.

Wonderful first hand accounts of the break up of the USSR.

Fascinating. I'll take that one to the beach :nope:

 

[Uncle Leo]

Fascinating insight in to the career of one of cycling's workhorses. Not a great rider, not a winner of any races, but a vital cog in the machine.
