A Sport of Nature by Nadine Gordimer. Only a few pages in but liked what I have seen thus far.

The bone collector - Jeffrey deaver

I recommend Gene Wolfe, if you haven't already read him.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for him next time I'm in the book store.

The greatest footballer you never saw (The Robin Friday Story)

 

[Fungus]

Seagulls In The Attic and The Good Retirement Guide.

Just ordered 'A Season To Remember' about the Bristol Rovers team of 1973/74. Can't wait!

 

[RyFish]

Revelation by CJ Sansom (Tudor-period crime)
Back Story by David Mitchell (the comedian - don't usually read autobiographies, but hey)
The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard J Evans (probably going to be a bit heavy going)

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

The greatest footballer you never saw (The Robin Friday Story)

Is there any Albion stuff in there?

 

[Barry Izbak]

I am racing through Worth Dying For by Lee Child. As good as all his others.

 

[smeg]

Not yet but I hear that Friday got sent off when we beat Cardiff 4:0 at the Goldstone (he booted Lawrenson in the face) After that he stormed off the pitch and took a dump in his kit bag before going missing for a few days, hopefully that will get a mention

Unlikely to find his stuff in a book store unless it's a very good one. I'd try Amazon. The Book of the new Sun, the book of the long Sun, Fifth Head of Cerberus are particularly good, straddling sci fi and fantasy.

 

[sydney]

The Road To Jerusalem.....about the crusades/knights templar.

 

[FloatLeft]

Idiopathy by Sam Byers

 

[red star portslade]

Red Leaves - Thomas H Cook

 

[tinycowboy]

A Woman's Life by Maupassant. Quite racy for the 19th century.

 

[perseus]

Fever Pitch. Just checking out the ending.

 

[otk]

Picked up Susan Sontag's On Photography yesterday as have been told it is the seminal book on the subject, but don't want to start it and be disappointed if it hasn't stood the test of time. Would anyone recommend it? Ta

Red Leaves - Thomas H Cook

His books are sublime - have you read Breakheart Hill? Wonderful stuff.

Breakheart Hill is a great book.

Seeing you're a man of impeccable taste, you should read...... Always outnumbered, Always outgunned by Walter Mosley.
