Just finished reading Sgt. Dan Mills 'Sniper One' bio. A cracking read.. jarhead or not.

Any other good ones to look out for?

If you like the military ones, I highly recommend 3 Para and Dead Men Risen (I'm in it

). Both are brilliant.

just finished reading terry newton's auto.

Pretty interesting read.

read barrie mcdermotts book,great read..enjoyed brian cloughs and gazzas books..half way thru reading freddie flintoffs its a toss up between andrew strauss or bobby robsons next

funnily enough, i read mcdermots a few week ago, it was interesting to read quite close together two views on the same story ie, jamie mathiou being a knob.

it was also interesting(and a bit weird) to see turry refererncing sean longs book/story of him apologising after cracking his cheekbone.

Watching me, watching you, that sort of thing.

I wouldn't mind reading Gary Neville's i'm sure that will be interesting.

its ok for lighting the bonfire...also read sean longs book,superb read and the late great mike gregory another great read

does anyone know if shane warne has a book out im sure it would be a cracking read

The first book I would ever recommend to anyone is 'The Master and Margarita' by Mikhail Bulgakov.. purely because its the best book ive ever read.

shantaram by Gregory David Roberts... long but very good.

Am thinking of dropping hints to the missus for her to get Tommy Byrnes Bio for my Birthday in a couple of weeks.

its called "Crashed and Byrned: The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw"

he was in F1 in 1982 the year I got into the sport...like the title of the book I never saw him....
but apparently its an incredible tale......

Brad Wiggins book, absolute quality read

Sir Rannulph Fiennes' Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know is an absolute quality read...what a guy

Rugby wise
Sculthorpe
both Gregory's
Johns
McDermott are all ok, or very good

If your having trouble sleeping, Iestyn Harris' book is just the ticket. You'll be counting sheep in seconds.

'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.

thats really is a tremendous read... even if someone doesnt like cricket they will love that book.... i had no idea at the time how it was going to go like that near the end... loads of laugh out loud moments.

In the military context, Vince Bramley has written 2 or 3 great books about The Falklands War. "Two Sides of Hell" is a belter, and brings home the full horror of soldiering from both points of view.

brilliant, also on the radio on radio 4 extra (DAB) at the moment! very funny.

I've also read gazza's, Barrie macs and also bobby robsons and all good reads.

Correctamundo - fantastic book, read it on holiday a couple of years back.

John Daly - Letting the big dog eat

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

Magnus Mills - The Restraint of Beasts

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.

I can't believe nobody has recommended 'Standing Tall: The Tawera Nikau Story'

Sarah Palin - Going Rogue.



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.
