I've had a nice clutch of Tetleys Sleaze and i'm just goin' down to me local spit 'n' sawdust, but i was actualy asking hows the book? or was you listening to inbetween days and thought it was a track thread? Just off out for a bit.

Vic Reeves Me :Moir volume one

 

[uncle fester]

For anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of true events, this book is amazing, I read it, could not put it down, lent it to someone and didn't get it back so just ordered it again.
It's a real-life account of living under the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, penned by a lady that was just a kid at the time, absolutely brilliant, and really gut-wrenching.
Take a chance and buy it, you will be astounded at what man can do to man.
If anyone does read it (and I hope you do) send me a pm and tell me what you think.

Bilbo have you tried Pol Pot by Philip Short which starts right from his early days as a fairly privileged child (his sister was a royal concubine) through his time as a student in Paris and right through to the end

Also Mao, the unknown story by Jon Halliday is fantastic

Having completed the Millennium trilogy quite recently, I was worn out to be honest.

Books do that to me sometimes. It's a bit like having a very large meal and you cant face anything else.

So, a week or so later I decided to go for something different, "Of Wee Sweetie Mice and Men" by Colin Bateman.

Bateman is probably one of my favourite authors. If you like humour that is dark and yet deliciously light heartedly dry at the same time then read his stuff.

I'm reading the Chris Evans autobiography, which is excellent by the way and a book called Live to tell by Wendy Corsi Staub that I’m also enjoying. Also reading the "Quiet thread" which is a really confusing piece of literature lol

The Terracotta Dog by Andrea Camilleri, second in the series, fairly well worn path of the police inspector investigating various murders and such like, the difference being it's set in Sicily, originally written in Italian and translated. You get the odd sense where things don't quite translate as fluently as it would read in it's original form, but after the first book which was introducing characters as much as anything, it's great.

Got plenty of humour, lots of references to food, mafia, corruption that sort of thing but doesn't take itself too seriously.<br /><br />-- Thu May 20, 2010 12:07 am --<br /><br />Also just to say you can get tonnes of books off the amazon marketplace where you basically only pay for P&P (a couple of quid), they're usually old library copies and paperback but in good condition, but if you want to try a new series but don't want to buy from a bookshop and risk wasting your money on crap, it's really good.
