Friday night lights is an excellent sports book, more a social commentary than anything else

After starting to watch the TV series, I've been trying find a copy of this from Birmingham's libraries to no avail. Is it out of print?

Maybe he'll bring out another one when he retires and lets his guard down. Get Paul Kimmage on the job. It'd be fascinating.

Kimmage said he'd love to do a book with Roy. That's one I'd love to read. As Kimmage said, Dunphy's book didn't scratch the surface. To be fair to Dunphy, he said Roy just wouldn't tell him anything.

Moving on from sports books and bio. I really fancy reading and learning more about WWII specifically Rommel, what books are a good place to start?

Start with Anthony Beevor's The Second World War.
Anything else by Beevor like Stalingrd and The Fall of Berlin.
Auschwitz - Laurence Rees
Inside The Third Reich - Albert Speer.

There so much out there. Never read a book about Rommel though.

The Harry Hole books by Jo Nesbo are excellent.

Just finished The Devil's Star - very enjoyable series alright. There's an American crime writer called James Lee Burke who'd I'd strongly recommend. His central character, Dave Robicheaux would give Harry Hole a run for his money!
Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

Was just about to post this, have downloaded the whole Dave Robicheaux series and put them on the kindle, came highly recommended by Tony Baloney. Half way through the first one, The Neon Rain, and it is excellent.
