Question What are you reading?

[SonicShrimper]

Got the Dresden Files omnibus graphic novel coming for Christmas, so that should be fun to read. Had hoped for the illustrated Harry Potter as well but no complaints here.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

The British General Election of 2015 by Philip Cowley and Dennis Kavanagh.

Fascinating read for political junkies, especially in a period when there's no Daily Politics,Newsnight etc

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just started Chrissie Hynde's autobiography Reckless.Enjoyable.

Glad to see she spent some time growing up in Cuyahoga Falls, where Grumpy Blue and I stayed and also at Kent State U. where we'd go drinking, just a few years later.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Stasiland by Anna Funder.

Not bad but a lot of filler about the author.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Second part of Danny Baker's memoir. He's had some life...

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Just finished The Walking Dead compendium 3, superb, Negan comes along and you think it can't get any worse than him until you meet the Whisperers.

Now starting the Force Awakens novel.

You'll love the final third.

[MK Shrimper]

Oooooh. Thought it was a bit soon.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just started Roberto Bolaño's wonderfully atmospheric The Third Reich set in Blanes.

i got Michael Calvin's Living On The Volcano for my birthday. Fairly interesting though one thing that comes across is how much they love themselves.
the Martin Ling stuff was really good at the start but it's not as good as the scouting one.
i wanted to get it as soon as because these things go out of date so quick. the garry monk chapter has gone out of date pretty quick, as has some quip in the Brendan Rodgers chapter about Klopp and Guardiola managing in England soon. show's how quick people in football go from hero to villain.

also i was reading the Brendan Rodgers chapter this morning, bit suffering from the weekend, bit Monday morning, and i felt queasy.

interesting-ish but don't go mental for it. they don't half talk some crap

The Paul Gascoigne chapter is excellent.

The Paul Gascoigne chapter is excellent.

the part where he drives a bus is amazing.

Well Paul Gascoigne wasn't employed by London Transport at the time so I would say

a) Yes it is
And
b) **** off

Paul Gascoigne was a great player in his heyday but also a bit of a twunt.

Bit like you by the sound of it.:winking:
