Could anyone recommend books to read during November and December lay off?

[The Situation]

Pep Confidential is a brilliant read.

The author had unfiltered access to the dressing room, training ground, team-talks, Pep himself, his coaches, the board, and some of the players during Pep's first season at Bayern. Some brilliant behind the scenes insight and well worth your time.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

The complete works of Terry Pratchett.

 

[joedurham]

Should have also mentioned (if you are a serious reader)
1. Everything by Dostoyevsky
2. Everything by Kafka
3. Everything by Thomas Hardy (don't be put off by shite shite TV costume drama adaptations)

I've read them all ,- but not all of them - if you get what I mean. At least in Nov/Dec we'll be far from the madding crowd.

I'd rather read about the history of Black Lives Matter, if you don't mind.

It's great, and anyone who questions Guardiola really should give it a go.

 

[Harry Gates]

So it goes

A dusty dance with death.

Quite apposite

Football is apparently disappearing down a non-celestial black hole the last 2 months of the year.
A good opportunity to catch up on reading. Any suggestions of book titles to fill the void?

Ethics by Spinoza

 

[Harry Gates]

Ethics by Spinoza

Did they dramatise that as the only way is ethics?

 

[Ian_O]

Gregg Hurwitz. Orphan X series. Evan Smoak is Orphan X. I promise you won't be disappointed. Brilliant.

 

[Dodgy]

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest

Randall P McMurphy is a 6'5" ginger Irishman in the book. Exactly like Nicholson, then.

Seen the film.

They're not even close. The book is basically narrated, in the first person, by Chief Bromden. The film is one of the best ever but the book takes it to a different level.

 

[10 Trenches Deep]

A Confederacy of Dunces.

A brilliant, very funny book about a most wonderful anti-hero.

Must be a Bonnie Scotland supporter…

 

[Quinnymelad]

Fishing by JR Hartley.


It will get you hooked.

 

[Alcoholic_Author]

Spengler, 1918.

The Decline of the West - Wikipedia

Yeth

 

[Nookster]

'The Ugly Game' by Jonathan Calvert & Heidi Blake

The story of FIFA corruption and the awarding of the 2022 World Cup, “worth billions of dollars and priceless prestige"

Anything by Ken Follett, fabulous writer

 

[Wayne The Punk]

I would also recommend
the original Salem’s lot .

Class

Probably my all time fav book. Picked it up in Woolworths around 1976, had no idea what it was about, picked it up due to the cover, all black with a tiny speck of blood coming from someones mouth

That was me hooked for ever to Stephen King, he is speaking at The Cheltenham book festival this year, but only by video link, he must be a canny age now.

The film/short series was quite scary also

I lost my heart at wounded knee. When I had finished the book, I had to go back and check the timescales, brutal
