    I'd love to read Jordans, I could do with a laugh

    I will read Motley Crue's and Anthony Keidis's books when I get the chance because apparently they're pretty good.

    I can recommend Anthony Worrall Thompson's book "Raw". He might be ginger, but it's definitely a good read.

    Alex Ferguson's is a good read as is Roy Keane's.

    I would love to read Ozzy Ozbournes but I expect he can't remember 1/2 the stuff that he did in his "enlightened" years

    I'm into wrestling ones at the moment. But the best out of the three I've read so far is:

    Walking a Golden Mile - William Regal with Neil Chandler
    Bored of the old one, new one coming soon

    I thought Stephen Fry's Moab is My Washpot was good. In fact, I like all of the Stephen Fry books I've read!

    On the subject of wrestling autobiographies Mick Foleys is good. The Rocks is ok too.

    I've read a few... but my favourites are:
    Frank Skinners - oh my god so funny
    Jordans'
    Eminems'

    I think I'm halfway through David Beckhams too.

    I'm sure I've read more than that.

    Ah, yes, Billy Connolly's autbiography and his wifes book "Bravemouth" are both very good too.

    I was going to suggest that... that is a fantastic book...
    (and the audio tape of the book with Stephen Fry reading it was ace too... )


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    If u fancy a non-auto biography i thoroughly recommend "heavier than heaven" by Charles R Cross about Kurt Cobains life, gives you a lot of insight into his life & death
    If a man talks in a forest & there's no woman around....
    Is he STILL wrong?
