    What do you think of it so far? He goes into a lot of detail talking about tribes etc but fascinating read.

    Crime and Punishment is next on my list. Thought I'd ease in to Dostoyevsky's books.

    Just finished a re read of the Mordants Need fantasy books by Stephen Donaldson. He is much more well know for his Thomas Covenant books which I never really liked but Mordants Need was a fun read plus it is only 2 books in the series compared to 8 or 9 in the Thomas Covenant series.

    I'm thinking of buying the book "Another Way of Winning" by Guillam Balague (Biography on Pep Guardiola).

    It's been out for a while, has anyone read that?

    Not read many football books but I saw one a while ago about the rivalry between Barca and Madrid- looked pretty good.

    Finished a re read of this book about a young boy and his fascination with a storyteller who visits his home. Great read.

    Cracking read, really interesting although a bit cheesily written at times.

    A Confederacy of Dunces is brilliant, one of the funniest novels I've ever read. Huge fan of Slaughter House 5 and The Master and Margarita as well.

    Currently reading A Day At the Office, one of the greatest Scottish novels of the 20th century (also happens to have been written by my dad :icon_mrgreen:), definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different.

    King and Maxwell, the sixth book in the series by David Baldacci. A great read.
