Good Books

Reading material for the next few weeks. Had seen motorcycle diaries the movie so many times which was amazing, I thought it was about time I got the book.

Just finishing up on Jim Hutton’s autobiography as well which is really good. Queen fanatics say that Jim was a bastard, but from what I gathered from a few Carlovian’s, Jim was a gent so I’ll take the book as a bit more honest. Got Kevin Sinfield’s as well which I may start on.

I have a heap of stuff to read.

I bought Zadie Smith’s White Teeth the other day and my heart sang at the size of the thing.

“Woke is dead” Piers Morgan. Great bit of stuff

Richie Kavanagh has a new book out. I can pick up a signed copy here in the Arboretum for €30 if anybody would like the ideal Christmas present.

Very enjoyable book

Why doesn’t he have his gloves on

I’ve already bought a jumper off @Chancer for my granda :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I saw Richie during the summer somewhere - he’s fair shook.

Was a roaster of a day and him, shook and all, in the roaster outfit.

Interesting cameo from a young Senator called Joe Biden in this

I just finished A Month in the Country by JL Carr. Great book. A classic.
