Well the Blue Moon book is probably the best City book I've ever read. It's from the viewpoint of the author who commentates on the whole 1998/99 season by including his columns in The Times (the paper thought it'd be good to document how we fared in Div 2 seeing as we'd managed to cock-up spectacularly by even our standards) with some great writing of his own opinions with little bits of City humour throughout. It ends with the play-off final and I'd recommend this book beofre any other to a City fan or just a fan in general. It really depicts us well.lovecityhateunited said:Joycee Banercheck said:If you haven't read it already, read Blue Moon: Down Among The Dead Men With Manchester City by Mark Hodkinson.
no i have not really read many city books( apart from things like farewell to maine rd and books like that), which is strange considering im obsessed with everything city.

Humour: What's My Motivation by Michael Simkins (very, very funny account of an actor's life as an extra in shit programmes and plays)
Autobiography: Parky's book is great - lots of anecdotes about all the stars he's interviewed. Les Dennis' book (I'm not joking!) is also very good.
Fiction: Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks. One of the best novels in the last 20 years; all about World War I but with a love story intertwined. Brought a tear to my hardened eye...
Sport: Provided You Don't Kiss Me by Duncan Hamilton. Amazing account of Brian Clough by the local journalist who had daily dealings with him.
Enjoy your hols!
