Clarke Carlise's book...just starting the last chapter. Fascinating read, really really good.

He didn't mention a night out in Yo!Below in Poland Street circa 2003 did he?

Crooked Little Vein and Gun Machine by Warren Ellis (graphic novelist usually) are really good books. Both about the seedy side of American Life and detectives, but very different. I'd recommend anyone to read them

I have just finished reading Bret "the hitman" Hart's autobiography, anybody who likes wrestling should read it, it is very insightful into how the Business works & how fake wrestling is. It also goes into his personal life in quite a lit of detail, the chapter about his brothers death in a wrestling ring is very sad.
now onto Viva la madness the follow up book to layer cake.

Surely anyone with 2 working eyes and a brain can see how fake wrestling is?

Viva la madness

I've been meaning to read that. I think it might already be on my Kindle as I know I read Layer Cake about 2 years ago. The film was quality (book inevitably better) but Daniel Craig's character is far better in the book. They're almost polar-opposites by recollection, aren't they?

It is so fake but for the first time it actually goes into details of how fake & also about the wrestlers who sometimes don't fake the moves. Brett Hart says his last contract with the WWe was for $20million over 20 years with the first five years making up about 9million of it. he was forced out of the wwe by Vince McMahon, he then went to WCW for about $2.5million a year.

I am only about 10 pages in at the minute, also i am now struggling to remember most of layer cake so i am going to have to re watch it.

Nearly finished Andy McNab's 'The New Recruit' - not a bad read..

I bought a copy of Nineteen-Eighty-Four on Saturday, I've never ready it, but very much looking forward to doing so.

My favourite author at the moment is John Connelly.

Dark, spooky detective stuff.

I think it's their tendency to cough a lot, eat a hell of a lot of snacks, and spend most of their time in a van giggling that probably is the reason they can never see it's the caretaker/janitor.
