O/T Fit You Reading 3

[Pacman1903]

I read books at home and use my kindle offshore(save my baggage allowance). I do prefer a proper book. Must just be an oldschool type dude.

Scobes i have the guts of 500 books up in my loft, all Non Fiction ranging from, fitba to heavy metal autobiographies to boxers autos to ex gang members from all over the world to ww2 to a book on midges.

Due to my massive bus trek in quest of Heelan League fitba i took my kindle

"When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops" by the late great George Cairlin. That guy is was one funny c@nt. Tried to finish it but the low sun flickering through the trees is making me want to fit

Getting to the end of Jo Nesbo's Police. Cracking as ever.

I heard Irvine Welsh on the radio talking about a new book about the life of Francis Begbie. Should be worth a look.

Gonna blast my way through as much of this as possible before fitba

I'm trying to read a book a week this year. It's going quite well, I'm on 24 already. Currently reading Moby Duck, which is a sort of documentary thing about a chap who spent a few years chasing around the pacific rim (and eventually the atlantic I think) in the wake of several thousand rubber ducks which fell off a container ship in the 90s and have been floating around the world's ocean currents ever since. It's quite interesting, and as an added bonus I discovered a bus ticket from Seattle in it (got it in a charity shop).

That actually appeals to me. Gonna search it out

Killer Instinct, written by one of the producers of Natural Born Killers about her experience of trying to get the film made and released. Not great but some interesting stuff in it. She absolutely hates Quentin Tarantino and says that many in the biz are basically chancers(sp) who got lucky.

The Player, novel about an immoral film exec which was the basis for the Robert Altman film. Good.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, had meant to read it for ages and finally got round to it. Very interesting and much different to the Ridley Scott film.

Bossypants, Tina Fey's memoir which was pretty good all round. A very entertaining read.

Most Dangerous Game, famous short story. Good story and I will now seek out the film.

Sunset Ltd, script in novel form about a black guy who saves a white guy from committing suicide and then tries to persuade him his life is worthwhile. Meh.

Next up is The Shining by Stephen King, should be good.
