John Peel - A Life In Music

Supercharge Your Brain - Prof. James Goodwin (After listening to his R5 interview by Adrian Chiles).

Tom Watson - Downsizing [A nice read. Barely any politics, instead an honest autobio into his decades of overeating/boozing, then inspiring weight loss].

Numan was interviewed on Radio Sussex the other day, the autobio sounds great. A new perspective on his entire life.

I’m not a cynic that distrusts any of them, in fact I was probably naive. Roche, Kelly and Armstrong were heroes to me. But once LA, Ullrich, Jalabert, Pantani, Virenque, Roche, Riis, etc, etc were all named or admitted to it, it does make one wonder about all the top cyclists through the last...

They're all legends, amazing athletes. But do they ever allude to performance enhancing drug taking/blood doping by them or their teams, or do they maintain innocence? It was even more rife in the Hinault era than now.

That’ll be that my next stop. Hook’s isn’t a 600 page rant against Sumner and Morris. Some bitchy comments, it all boils down to the age old issue in any workplace and 99.9% of bands, of (excuse the pun) control. Hook felt that as time went on, the others had manipulated it so Sumner was...

Chansiri’s lawyers got to you :lolol:

Was it published in time to cover Chansiri’s attempt to use the stadium sale ruse, but uniquely accounting for the transaction a year before it happened?

Substance: Inside New Order - by Peter Hook Almost 800 pages, loving it so far.

Just finished the well known novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carre, an impulse buy at the airport. Absolutely brilliant. Although I now know the twists and ending, I want to buy the BBC (Alec Guinness) series DVD ... I was a bit too young when it was aired.

A History of Britain (vol 1) by Simon Schama. Bought for me years ago, I’ve finally picked it up. A bit of an epic, but so interesting.

I read Brian Moore's autobio earlier this year. Incredibly open and honest, events in his childhood explain the man he became.

Just completed: Alan Hansen - A Matter of Opinion Monty Don - Nigel (this also a autobio of Monty) Half way through: John Grisham - Camino Island A mixed bunch there, all good reads.

Rod Stewart's autobio. Really interesting, honest, a great read. What a music career. As a teen he worked with Long John Baldry from 1962, later Jeff Beck and Ronnie Wood. Along the way, in clubs and gigs around The Stones, Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Bonham, in their formative years...

Johan Cruyff's :bowdown: autobio (the English language version!)

Just finished Brian Moore’s brilliant autobio, now onto Steven Gerrard’s, another good read.

I've almost finished Johnny Marr's fantastic autobio 'Set the Boy Free'. Lined up next is Joe Simpson's 'Touching the Void'.
