Just finished Chart Throb. Another good Ben Elton book but not his best of the ones I have read so far.
Also picked up a book called Englands Worst footballers "by" Jeff Stelling. Turns out Leicesters worst ever footballer was Frank Sinclair. I think the book should have been called the Englands worst footballers who someone might have heard of within the last 20 years by some writing on behalf of Jeff Stelling.

Not even our worst player of the last ten years. In fact, not even that bad a defender. Awful choice.fcukcov said:

Finished reading Sebastian Faulks' 'A Week in December'. First thing I've read by him and I really enjoyed it.
Next up is Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road'.

I'm reading 'Crap at the Environment' by Mark Watson as a bit of light relief after the intensity of 'The Road'.
It might dint my macho image :icon_wink but that was the first book in my entire life that made me cry!

I'm going to enjoy this thread. I read LOADS of books last week and I'm going to post my comments on them here at some point. Not because anyone will be interested, but because I'll enjoy it.

Have had this recommended by a few people now, I think its going to be my next one, if I can find it at a reasonable price (or my local library has it).
Currently reading Tony Parsons - Man and Wife.
I'm not really enjoying it, but I can't put my finger on why. Something about the way he writes irritates me. If it hadn't been for the entertainment free Easyjet flight, I wouldn't be as far in to it as I am.. but I somehow now feel 'obliged' to finish it.

His posts transcend the simply self-satisfying act of forcing a point of view on to a captive audience.

Reading 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' and surprised to see Hemingway quote Holloway.
