*What book are you reading? (part 2)

Voyage - Stephen Baxter - sci fi - an 80s voyage to Mars

also just started - The Fall of Yugoslavia - Misha Glenny.
 
I read The Naked and the Dead last week, and found it to be excellent.

Now I'm trying to read Women in Love, and am finding it. . . peculiar.

Surely even in D.H. Lawrence's time nobody talked like that in real life?
 
Just back of my hols and read the following in 1 week.
King of the Gypsies - Bartley Gorman (Memoirs of bare knuckle fighting champ) - Not a bad read
Escobar Drugs. Guns. Money. Power - Roberto Escobar (the life story of Pablo Escobar as told by his brother) - Great Read
Deep Black - Andy McNabb - A bit Meh
Brute Force - Andy McNabb - More Meh

Huh?

Some people might enjoy reading the Beano, others might like 50 Shades of Grey.
I quoted what books I last read, who the fuck are you to judge me on what books i read?

I take it you have read these books to make your judgement?

Andy McNabb and books about bare knuckle fighters and gangsters, it just seemed to me like the reading list of a laddish cliche.
 
I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself then unless you know the person your commenting on.
I read the books, I gave an opinion of them. None of it indicates to who or what type of person I am.

jesus you're a serious fuck.

and sorry but reading Andy McNabb suggests you are a fuckwit, or a really ironic fuckwit at best.

Oh don't be a precious fanny, I was commenting on the fact your reading list is hilariously ZOO magazine not delving into the deepest recesses of your consciousness.

Ironically enough I'd have thought someone with such a reading list wouldn't take themselves so seriously.
 
your the 1 making assumptions of who i am and what i'm like.
Even your 'get out of jail' posts are somewhat trying to take the piss..... grow a set FFS and realise that everyone is different to you, and thats not a bad thing.

I'd like to meet you for a beer for you to see that i'm not what you expect.
I'm a 6 Sigma Green belt, so dont try and play me as being a zoo/nutz numbo
Stop treating people as lowlife... your fuck all special to look down and criticise what others read.

For the record I think the Bible and the Koran wore the worst story books I ever read.
 
nahhh fuck it..., your just a cunt with no life.!!!

And for the record I have never touched, let alone, read/looked at a Zoo or Nutz mag in my life

Maaan I reached your level and done the name calling thing....... see what you done there lowlife?
 
you're a bit highly strung...

oh and I googled six sigma green belt and I don't understand how it would undermine the impression you're a bit of a mach tit, who whilst having the reading list of Zoo's ideal market is infact lacking any kind of humour.

I'm guessing you're more a GQ man.
 
your just a prick

I assume you read Zoo/Nutz to decipher my book list (which was a borrowed number of books by work collegues)


fecking A-hole

your words are turds and are from this point forth, ignored. (talk shit to someone else cunt. If you want to debate it i'll gladly buy you a pint)
 
I might add I made no comment on the intellectual properties of Zoo readers or those that read Bravo Two Zero books, that's your own over defensiveness. I do find it rather odd that a man who would happily announce reading Andy McNabb would get so offended at the notion of reading Zoo, afterall the latter atleast is interested in flattering portrayals of many tits rather than the one.
 
Am reading Patti Smith's memoir 'Just Kids', which is inspiring me to write my own Carry On memoir 'The Nookie Years'.

Not bad so far. The narrator/interviewer is a UN employee, compiling eye witness accounts (beginning with the doctor who met patient zero) 10 years after zombies have been wiped out worldwide. Told in a deadpan tone, leaving the reader to fill in the gaps.
