ChutneyLove Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Have enjoyed Irvine Welsh work before - but can anyone honestly say "Crime" was a good book? Pile of shizen. Link to comment

tup Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'll swap you the handshaker expose for 'Doom in the Deep' Harcus. It's a fine read. Just now I'm reading 'Lost at Sea' by Jon Ronson, it's good. Link to comment
Henry Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Approximately half way through, so far it's pretty much as you would expect, if you're a freemason you'll get on in the police alright etc, TBH I'm hoping the second half picks up a bit. It was also written in 1980 or so, didn't realise that before I started it. Link to comment
tup Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I know plenty about the handshakers anyway, their influence is everywhere around in Scottish society, but I'd like to see how the quintessential 1980 handshaker compares to the offshore Hollywood welders of today. Link to comment
The Hulk Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Keeping with the theme, I'm reading this. Link to comment
tup Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm still waiting on the books boofon promised I would have by Christmas, just as well I'm not in a desperate hurry. Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just about finished "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". A pretty good read if you are in for the long haul. If you like war history, you've probably already read it, if you haven't then put it on your to read list. Link to comment
360 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 One of the classics... if anyone is going to see the film "The Great Gatsby" I'd recommend reading the novel first.<br /><br /> Link to comment

buchanskii Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Just Finished: Pretty good, would recommend - Tup would probably score high on the bob hare checklist. Anyone recommend a book for me to read on my flight tomorrow, one I could pick up at the WHSmith in the airport? Link to comment
Henry Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 From one cult to another: Have recently read a couple of Carl Hiassen books (fantastic), The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and a book about someone who hitch-hiked round New Zealand. Currently reading: which is quite good so far. He's an Aberdeen-supporting journalist. Link to comment
