reading this at the mo, superb it is.
I mainly like amusing travel books, Palin, Tim Moore, tony hawks, bryson etc.even candide (all time favourite book) fits in there I suppose.

Never read a Bryson book, but I do find him interesting. Which one would you recommend starting with?

I'm trying to find a book that is apparantly only enjoyed by poofters called "The Good Fairies of New York", but I'll be damned if I can find anybody selling it :icon_wink

Just finished "Birds without wings" by Louis de Bernieres.

A magnificent historical novel about a small Anatolian community where muslims and Christians haved live harmoniously together for centuries (even swapping bits of each others culture and customs) and how it was devastated by the collapse of the Ottoman empire during the first world war, and the subsequent war between Turks and Greeks.

Wonderful writing, intensely moving, with humour, pathos and horror in equal measure.

Strongly reccommended, a "must read".
 
Favourite Writer is Nick Hornby, anyone who mentioned Fever Pitch, there is no such storyline, its just about a bloke growing up with football and writing about footie game has he goes along. Nothing like the film.

I finished reading a Joy Division book on the making of Unknown Pleasures.

Now onto Passion Is A Fashion, a biography about The Clash.
