    What are you reading?

    has been ages since I've solidly read for fun & not just for uni. just started to get back in the swing of things.

    recently finished Football Against the Enemy by Simon Kuper. was a really good read, had some insightful things about the general world of football & the politics surrounding it all.

    am now reading Reg Date - The Don Bradman of Football by Peter Allen. am sure I'll be way more newy after doing so.
    OK

    until Friday it's ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 4801:2001

    after that probably one of the many novels I've put off reading while studying

    I'm about half way through the most recent William Gibson book, should probably try that one first

    I've found when obtaining standards from newcat, then putting them on works server, after a few weeks/months the standard "expires" and green-screens. re-obtaining it solves the issue, for the next lot of time. is this a common thing?
    OK

    Yes. It depends on the licence the "supplier" has but they do expire after a time. Sort of like loaning a library book.

    If I know I'll need it often I just print it and save chasing the copy again. But that's pretty rare.

    I finished it on the weekend. It was really good. I chose to simply read it instead of critically analysing the statistical methodologies they applied.

    It is a must read for anyone who has read Moneyball or simply wants a deeper understanding on football or wants to look at football in a different way.

    It was a good one to read a bit, leave for a while and come back to - I read a fiction book inbetween it.

    Picked up "Mad For It" to read now. Again, it'll be a good book to read a chapter and leave while I read the next fiction book.

    8.5/10

    Joel31, did you end up sending Blackmac a book review on this for the Jetstream?
