Half way through the above.
Great so far.

An excellent read.

Started reading this last night after seeing it mentioned on here, and really enjoying it so far. Presume someone has already acquired the film rights?

This is a great , funny , read if you were an 80s alternative rock fan.
There are numerous thinly veiled references to the Chameleons , the title for starters.

In light of his death, the 'Lonesome Dove' series by "Larry Mcmurtry" is outstanding

The TV mini-series of those books were outstanding.

Perhaps the best horror novella in the English language according to Stephen King

Has anyone read Champagne football about John Delaney?

 

[BlueMoonday]

Any good recommendations for a sports biography/book?

Eying up Joe Marler's autobiography and the Southgate book on inspiration.

Currently reading through Max Hastings "Vietnam" so could do with something more uplifting.

I bought the first two books of The Expanse series last year. Finally got round to them a couple of days ago. 3/4 through Leviathan Wakes and I'm enjoying it more than the TV series - although I'm also watching the TV series again concurrently to see where they differ.
