Last Book You Read?

[united101]

What was the last book you read?

I just finished John Grisham's "The Broker"
It was O.K. but it could have a little bit more details. But I guess espionage is not his first calling and i think he should stick with law. I would give it a seven out of ten.

Robbie Fowler's autobiography.

Decent book with a few insights, but at some places you must take it with a huge tub of salt, and he comes across as being extremely bitter about Houllier.

6/10.

What was the last book you read?101 Threads Already Started And Within FF Archives If You Look For Them.......

[_00_deathscar]

Who's the author and how do you rate it? ;)

[united101]

101 Threads Already Started And Within FF Archives If You Look For Them.......

Sorry. That did not cross my mind. Will do that next time.

[great white]

Sorry. That did not cross my mind. Will do that next time.With all due respect I think maybe you are not being wholeheartedly truthful in that bold statement......

[Mike14741]

Paul Gascoigne - My Journey to Hell and Back

Very good read.

6/10.

I've just finished reading that too.

It was a bit tiresome how he referred to Toxteth as being some kind of ghetto in almost every page.

[Fent]

some book on Shackletons endurence expedition, I don't read that much, only when the whethers hot

I've just finished reading that too.

It was a bit tiresome how he referred to Toxteth as being some kind of ghetto in almost every page.

And then kept saying "but really we're from a decent neighbourhood" or something along those lines.

Lot of repetitive stuff, but some bits raised a laugh or two. Not something I'd recommend to anyone.

Steven Gerrard's autobiography comes out Sept 1st, and from the one extract I've seen so far, it should be a bloody good read!

[expat]

The last templer - raymond Khoury

quite good 7/10 interesting theory, bit of a crap end mind

[Bluetonic]

the hefty "Maitre'D 2003" Manual :laugh:

[15CharactersMax]

"Slaves of the Mastery", book two of 'The Wind On Fire' trilogy. It's a very beautiful book.

[Rafalution]

Stephen King - The Green Mile

I don't really read books.

The Gulag Archipelago (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)

Two thumbs up! If you like the history i mean...

[BARNETFAN1]

solzhenitsyn is excellent, have you read cancer ward?

[icarrasco]

no, not yet, but someone told me it was nice.

I've also read One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich from him and it's really good as well.

[BornAndBred]

His Dark Materials trilogy by Pullman.

Its a fictional young persons book but it ****ing rocked. Doing the Sharpe's now.

[15CharactersMax]

His Dark Materials trilogy by Pullman.

Its a fictional young persons book but it ****ing rocked.
Then try The Wind On Fire ones. They're not quite as complex as Pullman (he brings a lot of religion and politics into his plot-lines), but they're lovely.

[_00_deathscar]

What's so funny Stret?

OK, ill look them up.

Youv read the Dark Materials trilogy? What did you think? I think it will make a pretty cool film (they are starting to cast it). I was like a right little girl at the end of the 3rd book, had to go win some arm wrestles after the ending.. regain some of the 6 million lost man-points. Was a sad one, hit like a train.

[Infidel]

What's so funny Stret?

the notion of steven gerrard's (or more or less any other footballer's) autobiog being a 'bloody good read'

[_00_deathscar]

An insightful/interesting one.

A decent read...happy?

[Infidel]

very insightful im sure

happy in the knowledge ur a prick

[_00_deathscar]

Better a prick than a boring tw*t. :)

[BARNETFAN1]

an insightful read? lmao

[_00_deathscar]

Each to their own ~ personally I think I would enjoy reading about it.

[15CharactersMax]

That's different.

A friend of mine told me the book was VERY good, especially the part where the Asian guy tries to give them the password but they don't understand.

[Infidel]

yeah that bit is class

[The Truth]

Down and Out in Paris and London.

[Irish White]

The Commitments by Roddy Doyle....Quality.

[StretfordEnd]

dan brown digital fortress(not bad):Rock:

Probably the best of his books, but still pretty woeful?

[crstig]

Dean Koontz - Velocity

Very Good.

Before that:-

The Last Party, The Rise and Fall of Britpop.

Focuses on Suede, Pulp, Oasis, Elastica and Blur. Very good read!!!

[4737 CARLING, SIR]

Haven't read anything for a while but am about to start The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs by Irvine Welsh.

[Hazza]

I mainly read Biographies. Last one I read was "Watch My Back" - Geoff Thompson.

About to start "Mr Nice" - Howard Marks.

['Uddersfield]

Dean Koontz - Velocity

Very Good.

Before that:-

The Last Party, The Rise and Fall of Britpop.

Focuses on Suede, Pulp, Oasis, Elastica and Blur. Very good read!!!

Dean Koontz is probably my favourite author at the moment, read about 12 of his books? About to start 'The Husband' tomorrow. Hes very good at writing twists in thrillers.

[Mad_Hatter]

Dean Koontz - The Face.Any good? Just getting in to Koontz, have read Velocity and Odd Thomas recently, liked them very much indeed!

[crstig]

Any good? Just getting in to Koontz, have read Velocity and Odd Thomas recently, liked them very much indeed!

False Memory is my favourite Koontz book, very intruiging story about people who suddenly develop irrational phobias!!!

[conallmck]

"The World According to Clarkson". Very funny.

['Uddersfield]

False Memory is my favourite Koontz book, very intruiging story about people who suddenly develop irrational phobias!!!

Very good book, one of his best.

The Face is a solid book, but the ending kinda lets it down. Leaves a few unanswered questions.

Life Expectancy is a good one, Ive just read Forever Odd, the sequel to Odd Thomas and thats alright. His Frankenstein books are a bit farfetched. The Taking is strange.

Cant remember many more off the top of my head.

But hes a class author.

[StretfordEnd]

Any good? Just getting in to Koontz, have read Velocity and Odd Thomas recently, liked them very much indeed!

In moments of idleness I've read most of Koontz's books ~ try also Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons . . .

[Dingle]

No easy answers - The truth behind death at Columbine.

[_00_deathscar]

Probably the best of his books, but still pretty woeful?

Have to agree with that ~ the stories are gripping, but ultimately repetitive.

[Bam Bam]

I'm reading waiting for Godot right now. It's a bunch of nonsense but it's interesting...if that makes any sense. Will read "What Dreams May Come" after that.

[ourkid]

Read Dan Brown's Angels & Demons when i was on hols..

[Infidel]

dan borwn must be absolutely minted

[_00_deathscar]

Because idiots like me will read every single book an author ever wrote upon reading his first book and finding it mildly intriguing....

[Ben QPRFC]

Anthony Swofford - Jarhead

The book, as usual, better than the film.

[15CharactersMax]

dan borwn must be absolutely minted
Totally. And there must be so many better authors out there who just haven't had the publicity...

Just like anything in life, though, I suppose. Part work, part talent, but part luck.

[Infidel]

And there must be so many better authors out there who just haven't had the publicity...


u reckon? :hmmm

[Mad_Hatter]

Because idiots like me will read every single book an author ever wrote upon reading his first book and finding it mildly intriguing....Ditto! :thumb

[PsychicPscouse]

Against Death And Time--Brock Yates...:thumb

[PsychicPscouse]

I'm reading waiting for Godot right now. It's a bunch of nonsense but it's interesting...if that makes any sense. Will read "What Dreams May Come" after that.

Should try the sequel--'F*ck You, Godot, I'm Off'...:laugh:

[expat]

Have to own up to doing pretty much the same, however need to be a bit more that just mildly intrigued.
