A good book

Off on my jollies in a couple of weeks and was after a good book to read....

Not much of a book person myself, don't seem to have much time spare.

However I'm sure with 2 weeks on a beach I'll have plenty of time to read a book.

Not sure what I like or where to start....

Suggestions please....

 

40 plus and gagging for it

nt

 

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulkes or anything by Harlen Coben......

Tell no one is a terrific read, also Triptych by Karen Slaughter, read these recently perfect beach reading.

 

Last couple ive bought are England Managers - The Hardest Job In Football & The Damned United (l**ds book about Cloughies 44 days in charge)

Both are good

 

My usual suggestion....

Tony Cascarino's autobiography. I'm definately not a book person, but I couldn't put that down. Always liked the guy anyway, so that had a bearing on it.</p>

Another obvious one is Lars Leese's book. Really enjoyed that too, but I imagine u may have read that already?</p>

 

The Richard Hammond ones a good read

Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson is funny

 

steve claridges life story or any john francome book.

 

Jeremy Clarkson's are funny - well worth a read nt

 

If you don't read books much, start with something light or funny, or engrossing

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler or Ulysses by James Joyce.

No honestly try ....

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

As someone says Jeremy Clarkson's books are funny and readable

For thrillers try Jeffrey Deaver's books about Lincoln Rhyme (if you like that New York Serial Killer / scenes of crimes stuff)

Stuart MacConies books Pies & Prejudice ... and Cider with Roadies are brilliant, heavily laced with The North, music and memories. Unmissable.

Anyway, enjoy whatever you buy, charity shops can also have some great books in........

 

Forgot the Pies and Prejudice - top read!

haven't read the first one - my mate has and he reckons it's better </p>

 

Well, he might be right mate

but they're both ace, "Pies" if you are really northern "Cider" if you really like music. Being & loving both I can't choose between them.

To be honest they are the same book written from different perspectives, equally engaging but different. Class.

See what I did there, ending the sentence with different and then full stop class. I wanted to write for Sounds when I was a lad.

 

I did notice - different.Class. Not the same ....

but I. Tried!

 

steve smith...the lawyer from barnsley...his books are real funny,true life.

 

Boozers Ballcocks & Bail by Steve Smith

quite amusing, especially if your from Rotherham / TARN (c) Nudger

 

his other 3 books are sound as well.

 

I've just finished reading Killing Pablo. The whole story about Pablo Escobar, brilliant read and unbelievable what he did and got away with

 

The Blinder

Barry Hines ... if you haven't read this book and a you are a Barnsley fan .... couldn't recommend much better. Kitchen sink drama, tarn style, like a football Kes, the hero was David Hirst 20 years before his time.

 

What's the others called Big 'Un, only read the one?

cheers

 

junkies,judges and jail........plonkers,plaintifs and police....and mothers,mobsters and me.

wife works for steve.....all books at a discount for tarn fans!!!!!!
