I'm currently reading this thread.
Next up, daily news thread I reckon.
The Eye of the World.
Have been meaning to read Wheel of Time for a long long while but only just getting around to it now.
Currently reading book 3 part 2 of a song of Ice and Fire. I'm at a loss as to what to do with myself! Mind blown.
reading Mike Tysons autobiography.
It backs up my theory that no one should be allowed to write a book about their lives until at least their retirement.
The bloke is nothing if not honest.
bit sad really.
Ricky Ponting's autobiography...as said before, they are so much more interesting when people have retired.
Just getting into the Pup sledging...
Cannot wait for Wenger's fabled book.

This isn't an attempted stab at Manure fans or anything of the like..
I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through SAF's book. Man, I'm finding it so poorly written.
He'll write one sentence that brings up say Djemba Djemba, then he'll have 2-3 paragraphs on complete waffle that don't relate to anything, then he'll write almost the exact same sentence about Djemba Djemba as if he'd never derailed from that thought, but also as if the second sentence gives some form of insight that he hadn't already brought up.
It feels like SAF is holding back a lot of the views and thoughts he really wants to say about people and situations, and it just ends up that he basically says nothing at all.
For every interesting insight I get from reading this book, there's about 2 pages of pure garbage.
Coming off the back of reading Dennis Bergkamp's and Zlatan's books, which I consider to be two of the better football books I've ever read, this SAF book is an actual chore to get through.

OK
So, do we know any journo types who might consider doing Griff's memoirs as his playing career winds down?
I loved Roy Keane's first autobiography, and by the sounds of it he hasn't calmed down at all for this second one. Keen to get ahold of it!
