Wayne Rooney Autobiography surprsingly good, I think this is my first post in this topic as you can tell I'm not much of a reader.

Wonder if he regrets 'writing' it now Moyes is supposed to be suing him?

Dynamo - Defending the honour of Kiev, really, really fantastic book which should be compulsory reading for today's footballers, although most of them probably think it's something to do with chicken

Nobody who gets paid £5,000,000 to NOT write 4 books throughout his playing career will be TOO regretful of a little legal action. Hunter Davies, in contrast, should perhaps know better.

Yes I was a little disappointed with Hunter Davies although I suppose as you rightly suggest that money talks.

What's the verdict on that one, Mr C?

Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go

I read Never Let Me Go last week and hated it more than virtually any book I've ever read! I've been arguing about it with friends ever since.

The Damned Utd is next in my to-be-read pile. I never managed to make it through Peace's series with years as the title, but hope for better luck with this one, seeing as it's about football.

Just finished Voices, an Icelandic crime novel by Arnaldur Indridason, translated into English. Pretty good.

Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go

I'll tell you when I've read some more of it. So far, it's just pages and pages of epigraphs. It purports to get inside Brian Clough's head heart and soul, which is a good trick if he succeeds.

Albert Camus - La Peste in the original French. I've read it in English, so it's an easier read.

Okay, you got me it's for a class at university But I really have read the english The Plague

Which is brilliant. Like most of Camus.

There was a weird thing in the news recently about Bush reading The Outsider... was that true?

I did that book for my French 'A' Level - I absolutely loved it.

I read most of it this summer but forgot the book at our holiday place so I'll never know the ending. But I liked the way the ominous truth about the characters' purpose in life creeps up on you right from the beginning, and it is not so far removed from being a possibility that you could dismiss it as completely absurd. Wasn't there some Hollywood film last year on a similar theme?

I heard somewhere that the butler did it, that the boat sank, and that Darth Vader ended up being Luke's dad.

Dammit, and I hadn't quite finished the book. How could you, DzM?

Don't worry firehazard, I'll row back, get the book and check whether DzM was fibbing - I'll let you know. Or one of our creative Medusans could write a sequel so you have something new.

Thanks, Christine, that's something to look forward to - though I can't imagine that our DzM would ever fib.

Or I could just write that sequel myself.
