I would highly recommend his last two books - At Home and the Thunderbolt Kid as they are truely hilarious.

At Home had me laughing out load several times and I am only half-way through it.

Am about to reread " the ascent of money" by tv historian Niall ferguson

The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov

Magical realism... Russian... About the devil... Pretty good although I don't like magical realism as a rule.

 

[Braders]

Also finished Michael Caine - The Elephant to Hollywood : big fan of his and loved this book , but feel it only covers the surface of what was/is a fantastic career for him.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Very eye opening.

Finished
Paul Lake : I'm not really here - BEST (and I've read a fair few) Footballing autobiography I've read so far, you can feel the joy,pride and inevitable pain in every page mixed with a fantastic sense of humour
Lee Evans :life of Lee again good but feels abit de ja vu , it's very much a rags to riches comedy book

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Gave up on We Need To Talk About Kevin 30 pages in. Definately a 'Marmite book'
