The Wild Blue's a good book. Read that myself, fascinating it is too. B24 Liberator bomber crews during missions in WW2.

Highly recommended.... sheesh! Sound like ebay that doesn't it?

On offer from me is "Thin he was with filthy hair" by Robert Llewellyn. A fascinating account of his teenage years in various squats in Oxford. Lots of drugs, sex and general teenage idiocy, this is a good read if you remember the seventies.......

A bit dog eared but it's all there and the words are good.

Morning bump. This is a good read guys, especially if you are in your forties and had long hair in your teens............

In order to make this more attractive I'm going to chuck in the Sainsbury's Nectar card voucher for a fiver of a 70cl bottle of 12 year old Glenfiddich (I'm assuming it can be used by any old nectar card)

Pinky wasn't even born in the seventies, but i have a feeling he'll like this so yes please!
Will have a think about what to offer next when i get to work!


EDIT: I'll offer The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'cemetery of lost books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles that have long gone out of print. To this library, a man brings his 10-year-old son Daniel one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book from the shelves and pulls out 'La Sombra del Viento' by Julian Carax. But as he grows up, several people seem inordinately interested in his find. Then, one night, as he is wandering the old streets once more, Daniel is approached by a figure who reminds him of a character from La Sombra del Viento, a character who turns out to be the devil. This man is tracking down every last copy of Carax's work in order to burn them. What begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a race to find out the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax and to save those he left behind. A page-turning exploration of obsession in literature and love, and the places that obsession can lead.

Really good book and infinitely (in my opinion) better written than The Da Vinci Code!

No takers?
Hmm... okay.

How about 'The Buddah of Suburbia' by Hanif Kureishi
The Buddha of Suburbia, Hanif Kureishi's first novel, is a tour de force of comic invention, a bizarre, often hilarious, and totally original picture of the life of a young Pakistani growing up in 1970s Britain. Karim lives with his Mum and Dad in a suburb of south London and dreams of making his escape to the bright lights of the big city. But his father is no ordinary Dad, he is 'the buddha of suburbia', a strange and compelling figure whose powers of meditation hold a circle of would-be mystics spellbound with the fascinations of the East. Among his disciples is the glamorous and ambitious Eva, and when 'the buddha of suburbia' runs off with her to a crumbling flat in Barons Court, Karim's life becomes changed in ways that even he had never dreamed of . . .
