just read 'the damned united' by david peace, about Brian Clough.  its told in this mental autobiographical style, going backwards and forwards in time between him as manager at derby and then leeds - takes a few pages to get used to, but it really works well.  well worth a look

was reading shaun goaters book the other day for some reason, but it was actually quite good. Man City love him  :shock:

Not a football book, but I read the autobiography of Alex James (the bass player from Blur)

Well worth a read, especially if you are a Blur fan

why would you go for a holiday in Reading? it's rubbish.

he lives 3 miles away from me - fact - runs a farm now

Yep he makes cheese.

I admire him,hes doing everything exactly as a you should.

Struggling Band-> Popular band -> Drugs and Girls -> Rehab -> Tweed Jackets -> Country Pile

He drinks his wife's breast milk.

I am absolutely definitely going to get that. I've had a flick through and it looks superb.

It's the sort of book I will probably read all the way through in one go. Just right for a flight to the States in fact 8)

I read Perfume by Patrick Suskind whilst on holiday recently,not really much of a holiday read though tbh,its too disturbing and rank.Still only cost £4.97 from tesco so its not all bad :)

my mum just bought me cloughie - walking on water

recently i've read autobiographys by dennis wise-good.andy gray-shit.
my lad is reading pele's at the moment and reckons thats good.i've just started alex fergusons and it looks a good un

currently reading 'a spot of bother', by mark haddon. its the same bloke who did the curious incident of the dog in the night time thing, about the retard kid.

good so far, am a quarter through.

arriba was the dennis wise one written when he was still at chelsea?

aye it was tans.got 5 books in a pack for about 4 quid from instore just before last xmas.it was one of them

i got that pack i think, wise,best,gray,collina and robson?

it was even about a retard kid in park south, seem to remember a bit where he gets a train from a place with 'signal point' written on it, and it sounds like he walks from covingham, or somewhere like that...

and his dad described swindon as a "shithole" or something. what a great author.

oxfords groundsman died over the weekend i see

yes he did, sad news. dave wedge made the manor pitch look amazing for years, and the kass has always been pretty much perfect. i hope you didn't bring it up in retaliation of my quote from mark haddon, that would be low.

no mate not at all, i was going to post it in the other football stuff, but posted it here, my mistake  :oops:  :?

no worries, i was hoping it was a random interjection. he was only 44/45

yeah i see that, why did i have it in my head that mick brown was groundsman??  :?

just started reading that. nice short chapters.

i have just finished "weeping woman hotel" by alexei sayle... quite enjoyable even if it is a bit girl-y. also recently read "high society" by ben elton, which is basically just one big rant, but interesting subject matter (legalising all drugs).

next up is the fourth bear by jasper fforde. why this man isn't more well known i will never know.

yes, a real sense of achievement with only minimal effort.

Do you reckon he's tried to make cheese out of it ?
