Finished Little Dribbling last night. Bryson is becoming a curmudgeonly old 4ucker, but he still writes brilliantly.

Almost like you put a tiny, tiny bit of effort & not being an idle feck wanting people to do everything for you. Bravo.

if only either of you idle fecks bothered to read my original post you would note that I'm after the Nick Hornby original book list and not the Americanised Stephen Frears film version...

You're dealing with a child of the internet age. P'raps we should have left instructions for "How Google works"

[thebish]

according to google...

“OK. Definitive top five. Number one, ‘Let’s Get It On,’ by Marvin Gaye.
Number two, ‘This Is the House That Jack Built,’ by Aretha Franklin.
Number three, ‘Back in the USA,’ by Chuck Berry.
Number four, ‘White Man in the Hammersmith Palais,’ by the Clash.
And the last one, last but not least, ha ha, ‘So Tired of Being Alone,’ by Al Green.”

(though this is panned out over a couple of pages where he adds tracks - then takes them out - hence the film list being slightly different - those are the answers he gives in the book when he is caught on the hop and hasn't had time to revise it all and change them all on further reflection... but then I guess you must have known this...)

[Worthy4England]

Bah....I should have left instructions on how to read....

[General Mannerheim]

Yes thats it!! thanks. i certainly could not find that on google!

that is his polished list tho, the on the hop list had Bob Marley and Flying Burrito Brother's in it - or was that just the film...?

Yes - I thought u wanted the top 5.. The unpolished list had 8 or 9 songs in it from which the film list was culled.

A compilation of the first dozen When Saturday Comes mags. Mid 80s footy nostalgia at its best and great articles on the hot topics of the day; Ken Bates, racism, ID cards and outrage at being charged up to a fiver to get in!

Finished "Wizard's First Rule" last night. The first book from the Sword of Truth series. Reading my way through it again before I read the newer books. 17 Books in all.

Would highly recommend the initial book for any fantasy readers, it's probably my favourite book I've read to be honest.
However, the quality tails off after the first book, and gets incredibly preachy towards what is now the middle of the series. Be interesting to see what I think of those books now that I'm a bit older.

Could not put this book down when I first read it, and this was at a point when I weren't into my reading. You will see parallels with other books though especially Wheel of Time.

Got The Girl on the Train for the morning commute. Not bad, good page-turner to wile away the time.

enjoying Fiesta by Hemingway, amazing!

Holiday reading atm. Just whizzed through Paul Beatty's The Sellout. Managed to disabuse me of my life-long-held view that it isn't possible for a novel to make you laugh out loud. Glorious. Would recommend.

^^ Bah. Puckoon used to have me in knots of laughter whilst travelling on a Greater Manchester omnibus, first time I read it.
