What are you reading tonight?

[Worthy4England]

Strangely omitted were those details! But, like I said I much more enjoyed the travelling side of things to the stuff at the start. If I want yarns about crews steaming into other crews, Ill wait for "Walking Down The Manny Road"!

They were no better abroad. Same scallies, different location. All thought they were better than Arfur Daley at the latest scams, but you heard about most of the scams, because they were so fcuking dense that they usually got caught. Half the time they were scamming their own. Pikey, Manc bastards.

But they all come across as such young and intrepid globetrotters!

Inter-rail tickets for about £100 (iirc) lasted at least a month they cover a shitload of Countries...They still do, but cost a bit more now.

The scallies used to use the overnighters, generally after ripping off some unsuspecting shop for beer, food and tabs and be in a different Country before anyone had chance to react.

Used to get the rest of us a fine reputation. Wankers.

Usual good stuf from the man.

Love his stuff. Always a good read full of interesting side stories linked to wherever he is. Enjoy.

Currently reading Frozen in Time - the investigation into Franklins missing expedition of the NW passage. Fascinating stuff.

The first few chapters of "Short History of Nearly Everything" taught me more about Earth and the Universe than I ever learnt in years at school!

Yeah, really enjoyed that book

[Worthy4England]

Just about to embark on Terry Goodkind's

Wizards First Rule.

It has a lot of pages and not many pictures...

[thebish]

at christmas my oldest son bought me the book of these website cartoons... the guy has exactly the same storyboard for every cartoon - 2 dinosaurs - everything exactly the same - and just changes the captions...

http://www.qwantz.com/index.php (there are hundreds of them)

anyway... one of the strips was this one:



and from this - avid readers sent in stories that could be in such a book... the authors added a few more - which resulted in this book:



which I will now be reading as he bought it for my birthday!

So I am going on my honeymoon is just over a week and I need some books to take with me.

I went on a bit of a wander around WHSmiths last night, but all I could seem to find were books about crime and murder.

I want something a bit more uplifting, entertaining.

Anybody got any recommendations?

[hisroyalgingerness]

Chuck Palahniuk - Survivor or Choke

That's it really, I've read a lot of books about crime and murder recently

[keveh]

I may get one crime book, but don't want my entire holiday to be full of doom and gloom.

So if you want to recommend one of them that would be useful.

Ta!
