Full Back i know you support United but i dont know if you are interested in football. . . . . . . Read "Provided you dont kiss me - 20 years with Brian Clough " by Duncan Hamilton when i was on holiday. Tremendous.

heard that was very good. if you want a general american sport book with an irish twist get 'america at large' by george kimball. its a decade of his irish times columns and all proceeds go to temple st childerns hospital. very good read

just finished Frank Delaney's Tipperary

have to say it was a slow start but a great book - historical fiction, mostly set in around the time of the easter rising.  Collins and Dev all get a good mention - the main character meets some great characters too - Yeats, Wilde etc., some great fiction around the actual rising and the resulting executions and aftermath throughout the country.  Real action, adventure, bit of comedy and romance thrown in - all in all a good read.

Just finished "A fraction of the whole"  A book of epic proportions but a right good read.  Very funny.

Just finished the 'Book Thief' by Markus Zusak. Very unusual but touching book.

"The Power Of One" by Bryce Courtney is my all time favourite.
"First with the head, then with the heart".
Brilliant line

Just finished this....brilliant book. Its about a journalist who covered all of Forest's games during their glory years.....in the first chapter he describes his first interview with Clough....Clough's first words to him were..."Who the fcuk are you?"

Highly recommended.
