Recent reads: Mitch Albom - for one more day: (this is the same guy that wrote The Five People You Meet In Heaven) If you liked the first one, you'll like this. It's sweet in a very sad way - man tries to kill himself, wakes up and sees his (deceased) mother and reevaluates some of the events in his life - relatively short and has a nice twist at the end that leaves you with quite a nice hangover from it. Read it in a day, so not a huge challenge but nice none the less

Lionel Shriver (she of We Need to Talk About Kevin fame) - Double Fault: I loved "...Kevin" with a passion, didn't realise this one is nearly 10 years old when I bought it. Lots of hints at the style that was perfected by the latter book. Very enjoyable, in an overly wordy way at times. Two tennis players meet and marry and the book follows their career/relationship over the next few years. This is very much not Mills and Boon - like her other book there is a real sense of impending disaster and it's a pretty uncomfortable read in places. Made me completely f**king miserable once I'd finished it, but recommended none the less!

Just seen on amazon that Jon McGregor (he of one-of-my-favourite-book-writing fame - If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things) has a new book out - So Many Ways To Begin. Anyone read it?

I have never really got into Alexandre Dumas, but as I read a staple diet of what I fear you guys would term pulp fiction it is probably not a surprise. Have just finished reading The Skin Gods by Richard Montanari which was pretty good, almost all the books I read are murder/crime/thriller types. I only have a James Patterson book to finish and then I have nothing left to read!! Any suggestions?? I will read almost anything.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
