Any good book suggestions?

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressel...

Best book ever written IMHO.

Failing that, Is It Just Me or Is Everything ****? by Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur...

 

The book thief and I am the messenger by Markus Zusak - best books I have read.

<p class="producthead">Forget You had a Daughter by Sandra Gregory with Michael Tierney</p><p class="productheadtwo">Doing Time in the Bangkok Hilton</p>

Sandra Gregory was living a life in Bangkok that many only dream of - until illness, unemployment and political unrest turned it into a nightmare. Desperate to get home, she agreed to smuggle an addict's personal supply of heroin. She didn't even make it to the plane.</p>

In this remarkably candid memoir, Sandra Gregory tells of the events leading up to her arrest, the horrific conditions in Lard Yao prison, her trial in a language she didn't understand and how it feels to be sentenced to death. Her journey to the UK resumed some four and a half years later when she was transferred to the British prison system, where she had to adapt to a new yet equally harsh regime. Following relentless campaigning by her parents, who refused to forget they had a daughter, she was pardoned by the King of Thailand and released in 2000.</p>

Forget You Had A Daughter is the extraordinary story of a good woman who made a mistake that changed the rest of her life.</p>

Stuart Maconie - quality read!

 

I've ordered it from the local book shop

Should be able to pick it up next week..........just started reading The Grave Tattoo by Val McDermid.

 

RE: Pies and Prejudice

Just finished reading it - absolutely excellent read - very, very funny book

Going to buy his autobiography - Cider with Roadies - although I think there'll be a lot in it that he's mentioned in this latest one

RE: Pies and Prejudice

Well if you do - pass it on when you've done and I'll pay half you pay - how about that? You can pass it on to me at a match
