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



A series of books by Richard Crooks,
What was football like in the....70's....80's......90's....
Good look back over decades of football.

I generally keep them for when I'm up in Bambrugh during the summer. I remember many years I read a line from Tom Sawyer saying something like there's nothing quite like reading a book than reading it in the place it was written. He was right. I read Dracula whilst sitting in one of the top floor rooms in the Cresent. I could actually follow Mina's route right the way up to the graveyard, that was brilliant.

I love George Orwell, but I am not going to spend any holidays on Wigan Pier 😄

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?

Why not read the type of book you read when football disappears down a black hole in the summer

Depends what you prefer to read. The Impossible Dream by Ian Porterfield is a good read. Brings back some great memories. If you like Classics try the Historical novel
"I Claudius", a great read

i was once sitting in air conditioned luxury in Libreville airport in Gabon and started to read the dogs of war by Frederic Forsyth and in the first chapter it described the shithole of an airport at Libreville, perhaps it was poetic licence or an old book
try Conqueror by Con Iggulden there is a five book series for kindle on amazon now for £6.69 it's all about Genghis khan and the battles are epic and very bloody.

Ken Follett's 'Century' Trilogy -

Begins with Fall of Giants, then Winter of the World and ends with Edge of Eternity.

Git thick byuks, take ages to read but brilliant.
 
Not sure why this is on pure football, bit odd.

A pornographers poem. Bright young things. Last werewolf trilogy. War and peace. Notes from a small island. Pillars of the earth.
