A book I wish I had written. Perhaps it will inspire you to at the very least chronicle your experiences and record some of your interventions and experiences? There's no telling where that would then lead. I'd read it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn’t have to be a biography/autobiography This may be a bit left field but have your read Brilliant Orange by David Winner. I thought it was fascinating but I know some haven't been so keen. But if you want to read a different type of football book I'd say it is worth a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn’t have to be a biography/autobiography I'd highly recommend Michael Cox's books on football tactics. The Mixer and Zonal Marking. I've just finished Jonathan Wilson's biography of Cloughie which is a fascinating read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing that you can read the original police reports and their pursuing of Capone and his cohorts. Edited 3 December 2020 by Parafox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Guiza 2,087 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January Similar to my pointless 'Watch every best picture Oscar Film before 30' task, I've set myself a challenge of reading a book a week this year and going well so far with 6 down. Thus far I've managed:- 1. Thursday Murder Club - Richard Osman. 2. The Communist Manifesto - Marx/Engels. Some may well argue that I re-read this because it's only 50 pages long, but I couldn't possibly comment . 3. One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 4. Tin Man - Sarah Winman. 5. The Understudy - David Nicholls. 6. The Motorcycle Diaries - Che Guevara. Trying to keep it varied, hence the variation from debut murder mystery by light entertainment host to extreme left wing.

Zear0 536 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January I've had a bit of a mixed read so far this year. I read the Robin Waterfield translation of The Histories by Herodotus which was interesting but wouldn't recommend it. Thought I'd follow that up with something light and actually get around to reading Jurassic Park (said in a Partridge voice) which was much better than I thought (I did think it'd be good). Surprisingly different to the film which I'm familiar with, would recommend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Costock_Fox 12,047 Posted 15 February Report Share Posted 15 February Stumbled across this bloke about 2 weeks ago after hearing about him a while ago. Started doing his breathing technique last weekend from YouTube and I really would recommend it. In short, through breathing, exposure to cold and his mindset he has scientifically proven to be able to regulate his own body temperature, fight off infection and inflammation that causes things like Asthma and has broken loads of world records. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
