i have found an awesome website for cheap books. not too sure if it has been covered here. bookdepository.com compared with borders and A&R the books at BD are so much cheaper. they are based in the UK and send anywhere in Australia with free shipping...

This guy is unbelievable.
First I felt sorry for him then he started annoying me.
Surely you would learn by your fathers mistake

Just finished True Colours, which is the Adam Gilchrist bio...

Couple of stories in there I hadn't heard, and it never ceases to amaze me the self-doubt the guy had in his own ability, whilst destroying Test bowling line-ups...

3 out of 5 stubbies...

Matty Hayden's is next.

Good book.

All in all, as a very social punter (Sat and some Sundays) it puts it all in perspective. The book was (pardon the pun) quite addictive.

Now reading...

Remembering Hookesy.

Been a long, long time since I read any modern fiction as non-fiction is more my taste but one of my best mates talked me into giving the Jack Reacher series a go. Started the first one last night and only up to chapter 5 but loving it so far...why on earth haven't these been adapted for TV/film yet??? :-??

I love the Reacher books. Great fun ! I hope they don't make a TV/Movie thingy as IMO they'd detract from the books.

I've read all of 'em and they're great !!

Just finished;

twas OK..

I have read one Reacher book,"Nothing to Lose" and I can't think how making it into a movie could make it any worse.
I know books,like music are a personal taste thing but I thought this was appalling.

Edit:Currently reading "House to House" by David Bellavia,an account of the US storming of Fallujah.

Ben Cousins Auto biog

Been a good read so far. It starts at when he realised how out of control his partying was (the point he left his old boy in a bus shelter while he scored drugs) and then started from the his child hood.
