Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "'Penguins Stopped Play' by Harry Thompson.

Fantastic read about a real life amateur cricket team and their many jaunts around the world....Superbly written, very funny and, at the end, very moving.

Don't be put off by the cricket angle, its generally a story about sports loving blokes and what they'll do for the love of their game.

Also, if you don't shed a tear at the end, you must have a heart of stone.'"
brilliant, also on the radio on radio 4 extra (DAB) at the moment! very funny.

Quote: eddie gordo "Correctamundo - fantastic book, read it on holiday a couple of years back.'"



Finished this book last night, after borrowing it from the library (I'm FAR too tight to buy it) on the recommendation of Eddie, Slim, Morleys and Dita's......go and borrow it/buy it....a very good read.

At times, it's like a travel guide, at times it's like a diary, at times (tho not very often) it's a sports book, and for a while, it's like Watchdog, saying NEVER book your holiday's flights through British Airways.

An unstinting show of one man's love for his favourite sport and his mates.

I had an idea on how the book was going to end, as I already knew of the situation with the author, but the other issue was really a bolt from the blue!

P.S. Wasn't Greg a twunt. I'd rather have a Pie-Eater as a friend icon_wink.gif

Best military book I have read was 'The Forgotten Highlander' by Alastair Urquhart. Makes you realise how easy we all have it, details his capture and his treatment by the Japanese in WWII. There was a programme on C5 about it last week. Stunning story of human endurance, heroism and courage.

Sarah Palin - Going Rogue. icon_biggrin.gif

Also for other politicos, A book called 'O' by an Anonymous person in the White House is a good read.

Long's book is a good read if you can ignore the spelling mishtakes.

Also, this will make some on here vomit but Gary Neville's is very good so far.

Couldn't handle the 'I'm Jack the Lad' slant of Long's. Red is indeed a very good read, so far.

Penguins Stopped Play is probably my favourite sport-based book ever. The only downside is that pillock Giles Coren still occasionally references the fact he was part of a team that beat a national cricket XI in his tedious Times columns.
