It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.
Child 44 and The Secret Speach by Tom Rob Smith, thoroughly absorbing and extremely well researched. Maybe a bit of a heavy read for some but once you start to read very hard to put down.

Perry Groves' book and Patrick Vieria's are both decent if you haven't read them.
Have a week in the sun planned for May, will give this book a go then.
Just got back, enjoyed the book, but as much an account of the German occupation of Kiev as anything else. It did however dispel the myths surrounding what actually happened and how that myth was preserved for political reasons. 6/10
Re-reading Dispatches by Michael Herr. Read it back in the 80s and I'd forgotten what a truly brilliant piece of reportage it is. No book about the Vietnam war has come close since for telling it like it is and being able to put you right in there with the blood, guts and insanity of it all. Incredible read.
Reading Steven Tyler's autobiography the man is as mad as Wenger - but thats probably due to the vast amount of columbian marching powder he has taken over the years.
