The Slap is pretty good actually have you read that?

I will try to acquire this today as is my "type" of book. Cheers mate. I'll let you know how it goes.

I got that book for xmas but haven't started it yet.

Also got marilyn mansons autobiography which is supposed to be brilliant even though i know absolutely nothing about the bloke, and i'm not a fan either.

Oh well, better than the courier mail i suppose

I'm not a fan of MM either but I heard that too -he was a journalist before his current mad state wasn't he?

If ya get it - pass it on ey?

Dont want to be seeing any Delia books in yer kitchen today,esp that one 'chicken curry for beginners'

I already have the book, its just waiting to be opened.

Never knew he was a journalist before a musician.

I'd rather see that than something like "how to identify poisonous toadstools"

ive just finished his first book and loved it, but then im a big fan of cornwell

i highly recommend
bernard cornwell-azincourt


as for australian authors- tim winton has done some good ones

and i advise everyone to check out lee child

Gotta be honest 'Breath' by Winton freaked me out slightly....

I enjoyed "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian" (Ems recycle it - its in my bin pile - its great!)

I also like the mosquito coast by theroux, refuse to watch the film cause the books so good.

I also read and was vaguely interested "my name lon you like me" about a girl who is a prostitute in thailand. Not well written at all but just relevant to what I was thinking about in phuket.

I need more books - how expensive is it here!

Thats a superb one, both my sister and I loved that one, very funny - but bits of it also quite thought-provoking.

Re-reading (for about the 10th time) Fag Hag by Robert Rodi - desperately funny but poignant book, give it a go if you can get hold of it.
Should put fear into the heart of every bloke who feels he is being stalked by an unstable female friend, regardless of whether he is gay or not!

will try it, as I say I was looking for a title...

Fag Hag sounds good enough

Fabulous book if you are looking for an idea on how to stop someone leaving the country......
