Sports books??? WTF… 99% have been played out on screen and media already… Be like reading a book about the making of a movie. Bizarre

Looks interesting, probably doesn’t have the broad appeal of the other book

What’s this mate
You’re a gas man. 
Jackie Tyrrell’s autobiography is also a scandalous omission.
I’m really struggling through feet in the clouds at the moment, and I love most books on the topic, thought I’d devour it.
Ask someone to read it to you?
I liked the first one. The contemporaneous nature of it was interesting

A strange topic for the back drop for some chic lit.
Cheers pal. I’ll be getting that.
Just finished The Glorious Heresies by Lisa McInerney on the Audible machine. Very Cork but very enjoyable
Will you continue the trilogy, I read the first one and it was alright but I wasn’t in a rush to continue, my missus has read them all and loves them. She’s not from Cork 
I’m listening to Young Mungo at the moment, by the author of Shuggie Bain, it’s brilliant, maybe not quite as good as Shuggie but top class, just as gritty

Have you read his short story

I think I’ll read the second one at some stage anyway. I enjoyed it thoroughly but wouldn’t get carried away at the same time.
Is Young Mungo as grim as Shuggie Bain? I loved it but it was a tough read
Young Mongo is my next read.
Really looking forward to it
Is it as bleak as Shuggie Bain?
It’s not far off the bleakness of Shuggie, another brilliant alcoholic mother character,
In some ways the main character is like the 15 year old Shuggie

By God… Lads are serious about this fiction lark 
Finished this tonight. Bought it in a second hand book shop in Palo Alto. Great read. These lads could endure suffering. Twas no wonder WW1 didn’t knock a mairg off them.

Apeirogon by Colum McCann is a fine read
