Many thanks! Smiley

Am currently reading Punk Football: The Rise of Fan Ownership in English Football by Jim Keoghan. Started it ages ago but just picked it back up - I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already. Very well written and quite illuminating (if not infuriating) in places.

Ahhh a second hand bookshop in H-o-W. A fount of literary greatness. You're very lucky. I may be in touch!

Just finished Engage - Matt Hampson's autobiography. He was the England U21 international who became tetraplegic after breaking his neck and severing his spinal cord when the scrum collapsed.

Tough to read at times but also inspiring and very humbling.

There are copies available (not in Hay as far as I can see), starting around £55.  If you look at the Bournemouth Oxfam shop online, there might still be a copy there....

John Connolly books - Charlie Parker, private dick with a supernatural slant.

Very slick and top quality writing.

Rebus is a good shout, ta.

Not sure if anyone else read the Harry Hole series in sequence but the only thing that puzzles me is his sister disappearing after being in nearly every book early in the series?

Rebus are good reads, some better than others. I started with The Falls which got me hooked.

I read the Harry Hole books and yes you are correct about his sister, a bit strange. I did go off the series towards the end, I thought the later books didn't read as easy as the earlier ones.
