Currently reading Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, by Matthew Perry (of Chandler from Friends fame). I’m not one for reading ‘celebrity’ memoirs, save for the odd football autobiography, but having experienced some of the challenges Perry has faced (albeit on a lesser scale, and without $30m or so to keep me company), I was intrigued by this.

It’s a hard-hitting account for sure, of an absolute car crash of a life and a man very lucky to still be of this mortal coil. There’s no fúckibg about either; as he goes straight in with the story of the time his colon exploded due to years of drink and drug abuse.

Worth a read.

The Glamour Boys by Chris Bryant. It's a look at the MPs, many of them openly gay, who were opposed to appeasing Hitler from an early stage.

It may get more interesting later but at the moment it just appears to be about a bunch of posh boys living off trust funds shagging a lot of working class lads.

The Second Sleep by Robert Harris
Good book. It took a few pages to twig what was happening. I like Harris's stuff, they're very well written. Looking forward to reading his latest, Act of Oblivion, about tracking down the regicides during the Restoration.

Norman Hunter's autobiography 'Biting Talk'. No wonder it was reduced from the publisher's price of 18.99 to three quid in The Works. Insanely f***ing DULL.

Don't make me post extracts... :lol:
I have to be honest in that I never believed the hype about Hunter, Bremner & Co. Only Giles was really hard but even he was a cheat. Anti - football and that came from Revie at the top. I'm so glad that for all their time at the very top they actually won very little. And nothing compared to Clough's Forest. Karma

Got it reserved at the library (reservation number 9 of 10 so will be a few weeks). Looking forward to it, if that’s the right terminology.
