Do you read when you go to bed...?

[Mark Ormerod's Gloves]

Yes I do, Roddy Doyle "A Star Called Henry"

 

[Braders]

Alan Mullerys Autobiography

also might finish off Angels and Demons in a bit.

 

[Mr Blobby]

Hard to say, I love 'em all - I particularly loved Continental Drifter (which someone bought me and I find myself in a lot of trouble on the train reading it), where he travels to Venice on the route of the first grand tourist in a Rolls Royce and wearing a purple suit - that sounds awful but it's good. I'd say the slightly weaker one is maybe Spanish Steps - about him doing the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage with a very large bedicked donkey called Shinto. The ones about the Monopoly board and cycling the Tour De France are probably his most famous.

Christ, I really hope I don't get a load of people PMing me saying how shit they think Tim Moore is now. In advance, I'm sorry, just in case.

I though Do Not Pass Go was much better than French Revolutions. Will try another one soon.

Reading House Harkonnen br Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson (prelude to Dune books)

 

[Guinness Boy]

Currently reading Jung Chang's biography of Mao. A fantasticly well written and well researched book but absolutely huge and VERY heavy so I'm balancing it out with Dilbert's Joy of Work

Have read Tim Moore's French Revolutions. Read much of it on long haul flights which with hindsight was a bad idea as everyone was staring at me because I was laughing out loud. I particularly like his tales of 'bonking'

 

[METALMICKY]

The last bed time read was the Da Vinci Code and i thought it was seriously overrated.

 

[METALMICKY]

I'm reading Eyewitness Auschwitz. Its a testimony from a Slovak Jew who survived the holocaust by working in the cremotrias. Harrowing stuff.

I have a morbid fascination with death camps.

Went to the Imperial War Museum earlier this year and the highlight was the Holocaust exhibition. Harrowing but fascinating.

I usually crash as soon as my head hits the pillow at the moment...The last book I had beside my bed was Tim Winton, A House on Cloud Street... Its the second time I've read it I enjoyed it so much!

 

[RM-Taylor]

On the last chapter of Gordon Ramsay's autobiography Humble Pie, wondering what I should buy next.

I avoid these new autobiographies like the plague. Ploys to fill the coffers!

If you want decent football books then read something like "The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro" or "Woody and Nord: A Football Friendship".

The four listed above are not even/hardly half way through their careers.

 

[Mark Ormerod's Gloves]

The glory game by hunter davies shows how far football has changed from the early 70s... worth reading, more than ashley cole's auto-whinge-ography, anyway that's for sure

Agreed. Fantasic book.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I am about to read that last Julian Barnes book. Preferably in bed now that shadowed seat under tree is too cold to forgettably perch and eye.

At the moment, i sudoku in bed.

 

[scooter1]

I can recommend Powder by Kevin Sampson.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Greg Chappell on Coaching

Quite an alternative approach to traditional cricket coaching concepts and methods - unweighting, coiling and levers, kinda makes sense but different.

 

[Northstander]

Reading general Custers Biography!

Very strange bloke indeed!!

Superb book

Just about to finish Steve Waugh's Autobiography - a very good read but f***ing HEAVY (in weight I mean). Not good when you nod off whilst reading in bed!

try "A profession of Violence" and see what really happened!

I find their story truly fascinating!

Good read even so!

im reading the 5th book of Stephen Kings the dark Tower series, The Wolves of the Calla. Very Lord of the Rings and very different from his usual stuff. Bloody ace but can only read for about ten minutes before passing out
