I was wishing I never started The Road by Cormac McCarthy during, man it was it HARD work, but I perservered and for that I got a 9.5/10 book. Agree about On The Road. like a mixture of reading a freemans catalogue coupled with stupid violence. No redemption, no learning, no value. IMO obviously. |

I read this the other day and really enjoyed it (as much as you can a story of loss). A theme of the book is that it is possible to accept the truth of two things that flatly contradict each other...in fact sometimes it is necessary. Very different and more thoughtful and more serious than Coe's other books too (such as 'What a Carve Up!' & the excellent 'House Of Sleep'). Recommended. |

Ohh good thead.. Last few books ive read have been tesco specials. The hunt for atlantis by Andy Mcdermott. Juat a indiana jones type adventure, pretty straight forwards but enjoyable all the same. And before that Cobra 405 by damian lewis. Cobra 405-preview Awesome read, very well written and a good read. Id recommend this to any lad who like a bit of SAS who dares wins type of stuff. Next book im going to read is The railway Man by eric lomas. jon gaunt is always banging on about it on talksport raido, about how its life changing.. My favorite book is proberley weaveworld by clive barker.. |

Probably the book I most relate to. Similar upbringing similar schools similar thoughts, Bobby Kennedy especially. Probably at the same matches. |

I have read it and quite enjoyed it. As I remember it was his slightly strange relationship with his wife that sticks in my mind though. |

I'll reserve my copy now then. Just in case. You can do it though. I have faith. |

It was in The Independent's Top 10 of travel books. Decided i was going to work my way through them. There's also a Dave Gorman - America Unchained; 92 Archarnon Street; and Blood River all downstairs in the kitchen. I may have been bored at work when it seemed like a good idea. |
