The slightly pissed,existential thread
Day off today.Spent the morning doing the shit that needs to be done on your day off,bill paying,laundry,getting a haircut etc.Got home about 1pm,had lunch,then cracked open the first cold one.Quoffed several more while watching England win the Test Match,then listened to some music.
I am now chilling with a coffee and about to pick up my latest "read."
This has got me thinking,lets do a "snapshot" of the Forum.
What is the book that you are currently reading?Not your best ever,or the one that "changed your life." Just the one you are reading at the moment.
Mine is,"Magnificent Desolation,The long journey home from the Moon."
It is Buzz Aldrins autobiography,and details the difficulties he had coping with life after walking on the Moon.

I am reading a fantastic book, "The Shadow of The Sun", by Ryszard Kapuscinski.
It's not for everyone but obviously as someone with an interest in Africa I find it absolutely fascinating. Really opens your eyes to the independence period ("winds of change" etc.) and how that has affected Africa from hereon in and shaped the continent we see today.

Yeah, that is funny. Spurs had him come down to WHL. Petit got Sugar to pay for a taxi home. That taxi was actually to Highbury, so he could sign for The Arsenal.Henry Norris 1913 wrote:Emmanuel Petit got sugar to pay for his fare up to arsenal when he signed for usfrankbutcher wrote:Just finished Alan Sugar's Autobiography.![]()
(Quite a good read though. Venables mugged him right off at Spurs.)

Excellent book, you'll enjoy that. Read Robert Elms's "The Way We Wore" if you want more on a similar subject.Chips and Chocolate wrote:I'll get your thread going. I've just started The Soul Sylists, 40 years of modernism by Paolo Hewitt
I am reading "Check The Technique" by Brian Coleman, a book about the recording process of Hip Hop records.
