O/T Fit You Reading 3

[Rochead]

What a gent

Will you be at Burnley at home?

Ill probably be Red Finalling as its out that day, if that's an option

Looks like ill be going in Feb as Kortrijk, Brugge and Zulte-Waregem are all at home that weekend so I should get one or two of them

Probably wise going later as November will see the 100th anniversary of the armistice.
Yes I will be at the Burnley game but should advise you that the books won’t slip into your back pocket, they are quite heavy, two bags, one to keep and one to peruse at your absolute leisure.
I am happy to bring them then but also happy to to take a run to Aberdeen, my wife needs no excuse to spend some time there, whatever suits yourself.

One of the best Paclad without a doubt

I made it to watch Venezia aboot the time I was reading it what a strange way to get to a game by boat the stadium was the most ramshackle hole I have seen in a while. Huge home end held up by rusted scaffolding that had nae seen a Scafftag since Mussolini was breathing.

Good insight into the skullduggery of Italian fitba, have you read Tim Park's Season in Verona?

Just finished what does this Button Dae by Bruce D nae bad

[Pacman1903]

have you read Tim Park's Season in Verona?

Its ace.

I would loved to been on the bus to Bari

[Pacman1903]

Was Mons Graupius at Bennachie

Tim Pears's In A Land of Plenty.

What a writer he is.

I read his The Horseman* (part 1 of a promised trilogy) when I was away on holiday in April, and raced through his In The Place of Fallen Leaves when I got back.

*Gentle and bucolic, almost like Cider With Rosie or The Woodlanders in its West Country simplicicty, but with a twist like a kick in the knackers fae Doug Rougvie (ex-Keith).

Wilfred Thesiger-Among the Mountains

no bad but awf its time.

Some of the comments are quality.

The locals were unkempt, dirty and the children looked like idiots. I thought he was in Hartlepool not Kafirstan

[Pacman1903]

Working my way through this. Very interesting and quite funny at times

Loaned to me by the top red that is Rochred

[Pacman1903]

I finished David Kerr Cameron's The Ballad of the Plough, which contains nary a footnote to the boozer of the same name in Keith. Top stuff aboot the days of the fermtouns.

Then I ate Tim Pears's Wake Up in a couple of days - good stuff, with the usual blooter of an Ally Shewan tackle about a chapter from the end.

Now reading Ian McEwan's Enduring Love. I'm sure I started it once before as Chapter 1 is affa familiar. So far so good, like.
