Chrisyboy81 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've not long finished Skag Boys, a damn good read. It's got a fair bit about our fair city and football club in it too, which was nice. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Are The Stuart McBride books good? been reading more since I got a Google Nexus. Currently half way through Headhunters by Jo Nesbo. Nae bad so far. Link to comment

Chrisyboy81 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just started that. Very odd the way it begins as if it's a written journal.Yeah it goes back to it at the end too, it all ties in nicely. I'd say it's better than Porno but not as good as Trainspotting but then there's not many books that are. Definitely worth reading. Link to comment
Chrisyboy81 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I wouldn't say I was a massive fan but I think Trainspotting is excellent, his writing in general is partly genius and partly shite. He's a Hibs fan though so by the law of averages he must be a cock. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Just finished three books by Russian authors... A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich... about the third or fourth time I've read it. Could be boring to some, personally thought it was one of the best books I've ever read. We Never Make Mistakes... Absolute shite from start to finish. Avoid. The Long Walk... recently turned into a fillum. Good book, worth reading, and if true then it's one of the greatest escape stories ever. (Not to be confused with the Stephen King pish of the same name) Link to comment
360 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Finished Zodiac and now reading American Psycho. The film is somewhat less graphic. Link to comment
Henry Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Currently reading this, no mention of Bluto thus far. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Galloping through this at the moment. It's excellent. 9/10 Also reading this. Stupid title and cover which is in fact very misleading.It's actually an excellent psychology book and well worth reading. Another 9/10. Link to comment

You'll have to wait a wee while before I post it to you. Not because I'm a bone idle cunt that cannot get to a post office either. I'll post it on my return. Link to comment
Jigot Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 On holiday I read/finished: Iain Banks - Transition Was close to finishing this novel before I went away, I prefer taking a "new" book away with me but decided to finish this as well. Not a bad novel, nowhere near as good as The Wasp Factory though! - 6/10 Philip K Dick - Man In The High Castle A classic novel. Read it in a few days, after reading Do Anderoids Dream of Electric Sheep I felt a bit disappointed by this one. It's set in an alternative world where the war was won by the Germans. - 6/10 Sebastion Faulkes - BirdsongReally enjoyed this one, I thought that he was able to describe the horrors of the First World War beautifully. - 8/10Birdsong really takes you there right enough.Being a Tunneler must have been akin to a being a Submariner during a depth charging. A strange start to the book mind you,I thought it was going to be a porn novel. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Birdsong really takes you there right enough.Being a Tunneler must have been akin to a being a Submariner during a depth charging. A strange start to the book mind you,I thought it was going to be a porn novel.Got to agree with Birdsong - had it recommended to me about 12 years ago and gave it a read. First couple of hundred pages and thought I was reading a bloody romance. Toiled through though and turned out to be an absolute cracker. One of my top twenty ever I'd say. Normally read only non-fiction - usually war history, maritime history or astronomy / cosmology. For some weird reason though I picked out "The Complete Works of Jules Verne" the other day on my Kindle - 36 books for $2.99! Haven't been able to put it down Fan-fuckin'-tastic. I recommend taking a big leap sideways from the norm for everyone from time to time. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Caught in the crossfire, by Russell Findlay. I do like a true crime book. Even a Weegie true crime book, especially when they are killing each other for the sake of it. He really was an evil cunt. Link to comment
