Looking back part 2
2007 was also a year I had plenty of time to read. Oh yea, it’s definitely one of my hobbies. Hard to tell? Hahahaha….I’m pretty selective with what I read. I love reading biographies. I guess reading about something real gets to me. Its how I take the lessons from these people and put it in use. I easpecially like football biographies. I wonder why?
Here are some of the books I read last year: -
1. Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? - Got you with the title didn’t I? Hahaha…full of fascinating facts about life. A real joy to read. Oh, and I still don’t know why…
2. Gerrard: My Autobiography - One of the best football biographies I’ve read thus far. Honest and direct, just like the man himself.
3. A Season On The Brink - Takes a look at Liverpool’s Champions League winning season.
4. Saint: My Autobiography - The great Liverpool forward Ian St. John. Details his struggles as well, so there is a lot to take from this man.
5. Thommo Stand Up Pinocchio - Liverpool’s very own Phil Thompson details his rise and fall and rise in English football with such comic it’s hard not to be entertained.
6. How To Win At Fantasy Football - As of press time, my fantasy team is still second from bottom.
7. Football and Gangsters - Rooney was (still is?) in so much of shite for his rounds to the ‘house’.
8. One Night At The Call Centre - This was a book I bought out of the blue. It tells a story of 6 indians in a call centre and how life changed for them in one night. It was an alright read.
9. American Gangster - The movie will be a big big hit if it’s as good as the book!
10. Catch 22 - Never got into the flow of the book. Not my cup of tea even though its supposed to be a masterpiece.
11. The Gamblers - London in the 60s must have been a pretty amazing place to be. The Clermont set defines luxury and utter stupidity.
So there you have it. 11 books in a year. Could do better actually. I’ve got Being Gazza waiting for me so lets hope it’s a good read.
