No Mercy again

Such a great book and one that I never get tired or reading.

Yes, "No Mercy" is a great read, must dig that out again.

I've recently been revelling in a local bookshop having a clearance sale, got a couple of Stuart Macbride hardbacks for 37p each, "Dark Blood" and "Shatter the Bones", both a great read so have now got hold of a couple more.

Currently trying to finish "The Winner stands alone" by Paulo Coelho, not really my kind of thing, very disjointed story-telling.

David Peace's Red Riding quartet 1974, 1977,1980 & 1983.
You really have to read them back to back in order and once each won't be enough. 'Just finished them for the third time and I'll read them again.

[Retro Man]

"I Slept WIth Joey Ramone" - it's not actually the seedy gossip of a Groupie as the rubbish title might suggest - it's a really interesting book written by Joey's brother Mickey Leigh. Really highlights the dilemma of living in the shadow of a more famous family member, one full of insecurities plagued by OCD and hated and mocked by his band-mates, epsecially Johnny. Great read!

[Bag Lady]

The Hundred-Year-Old Man who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

Must stop reading books that people recommend "My book club liked it", it's ok but a bit book clubby.

Excellent debut.

I saw a documentary about her a few years ago, someone was stalking her.
Might check the book out.

Exactly "kjblack".
If you havn't done so already, read 'Big Sur' it describes... a broken dream AND paranoia, from just too many drugs and booze,
but actually a very uplifting book... written when he was quite old and dependant on drink.
