For me its Elizabeth Wurtzel's 'Prozac Nation'. Its so far a more depressive and graphic 'Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath.

Its wrote like a reflective journal, so the facts and events are wrote on the right hand, and her thoughts and feelings to such events on the other. Its alright, not a bad read- a bit dark though. I am making a special effort not to listen to Damian Rice as i read though incase it pushes me over the edge lol.

What book are you reading at the mo?

:)

Ugly Americans by Ben Mezrich. Tales of an american derivatives trader living on the edge in japan, plundering stock markets by day and living the playboy dream by night :cool: . A great read for all wanna be players. Anyone got recomendations of club culture books like altered states? Energy flash by simon reynolds looks to be quite good too, might check that out.Next on the list is nine lives, confessions of a master jewel thief by bill mason.
Be lucky

Have been reading Paula, Michael & Bob by Gerry Agar :thumbsup: enjoyed her book but something about her niggled me all the way through. A sign of a good book I suppose. :S

At the moment keep starting and stopping The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell :D . One of the fellas in my old job bought it me. He said it would remind me of the tea bar at work. He was so right!!

Gang War - Peter Walsh - it's well good!

an insight into all the crime and gang shit that went down through the 80's and 90's in Manchester including all the Moss Side Riots and Cheetham Hill crew, Salford crew - it ties loads of events n crimes together and explains how they happened. - One example when the hacienda temporarily shut down it was down to this guy and it explains the background on what was happenin - pretty scary stuff. Blokes with machetes chopping legs off n stuff and loads of gunplay - crazy - its a mad world out there we don't realise whats really goin on around us! Watch yourself out there!

OK.....so what if they are for women

I've been reading a number fo books that my wifes Mum gave me by Martine Cole.....

Mostly based in London, usually the lead character is a Women, contains depravity, violence and underground goings on of some sort and loads of graphic sex. What more do you want?
