As I said, most of them crap, but some good crime thrillers from time to time Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122147
Madbadteacher Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Agree with 11/22/63 Also for easy reading (c 4 hours a book) try any James Patterson books! If ye're into fantasy (and as AFC fans looking to win something aren't we all) Stan Nicholl's "Orcs" book are pretty good too, also any of "The Black COmpany" series by Glenn Cook Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122151

Goldie03 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Got two Scottish fitba related books for xmas. First was Stramash by a Middlesbrough fan who moved to Edinburgh. Fed up with travelling down to the NE of England every other week and of the anodyne corporate atmosphere of EPL/Championship football he decided to spend a year travelling around lower league Scotland. Some interesting insight, history and commentary on Scottish lower leagues and football in general - recommended The Second was Bloody Casuals Congratulations You Have Just Met The Casuals, about our very own ASC. Possibly the worse book I have ever read. Would probably fail as an essay in Standard Grade English. Even the material is rotten with almost every story starting "I wasn't there at the time but to the best of my knowledge this is what happened", cue the usual "there were 50 of us 100 of them and they shat it and ran". Never been interested in this genre of book and needless to say after reading this (well some of it, it having been relegated to toilet book) I won't be getting any more. I saw him at the book festival last August Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122185

RDU_64 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm reading Yes Man by Danny Wallace at the minute, very enjoyable read and some particular Laugh Out Loud points. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122412
topcorner Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm reading Yes Man by Danny Wallace at the minute, very enjoyable read and some particular Laugh Out Loud points. I read that a few years ago. Definitely an easy book to read with a few funny stories throughout I also tried to say Yes to everything after I read it. Lasted about a week Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122415

dave_min Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 All of Danny Wallace's books are good except "Awkward Situations For Men". Don't read it. It's pish. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122418
BigAl Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 "Awkward Situations For Men". Don't read it. It's pish. Probably the worst book i've ever had the misfortune to pick up. Started reading it on holiday couple of years ago, perservered for about eighty pages and had to give up before I slit my wrists Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/567-the-donstalk-book-club/page/24/#findComment-122520

glasgowdon Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 A People's Passion is a horribly biased book. Morbo is a great book and everyone should read that if they are interested in la Liga. For an interesting book on Italian football: The Miracle of Castel di Sangro.
