[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Dissolution by CJ Sansom - early doors but think it could be a cracker.

 

[Frutos]

"Clash Of Kings", the 2nd book in the series "A Song Of Ice And Fire" by George R. R. Martin (the series on which the TV show Game Of Thrones is based).

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Dissolution by CJ Sansom - early doors but think it could be a cracker.

Whole series is brilliant.

I'm reading "To The River" by Olivia Laing. She described her walk along the length of the river Ouse in ten days following her break-up with her partner. Lovely prose (almost poetry really) and a very engaging read. SHe's also a naturalist, so she describes the flowers and the other flora in beutiful detail. Completely in love with this book and would highly recommend it. Coincidentally she is a Brighton girl.

Conjectures and Refutations by Karl Popper

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Currently reading "Soccer Calling" by Alec.E.Witcher who some older members will remember was a Director at Brighton,he also wrote the "The Ace of Games". Inside the book is written the profits from this book will be devoted to the funds of Brighton and Hove Albion.

Extract....Corinthians. Then there were the three cup games with Brighton and Hove Albion in the 1932-33 season,the first drew a 20,000 spectators to the Goldstone,the result being a 1-1 draw.Norman Creek observed that these games were thoroughly enjoyed ny the "Corinth" and were played in the best possible spirit.I saw them all, and what impressed me was that the fouls were conspicuous by there absence!
Tommy Cook scored the all important goal in the third game at Stamford Bridge,and the legality of that goal is still discussed. As a matter of fact,Tommy told me himself that he thought he was off-side.
