Books

Not starting a book club. Just bringing everyone's attention to the new book section. Link at the top of page.

I have put a few books up there already, happy to add any suggestions people have. There is a review section for each book where you can say how shit each one is. They all link through to Amazon where you can purchase any of the books with WHO earning a commission from the sales. I have put Alex's book up there already and anything WHO earns from that book I will push into the WHO fund.

I don't think we have a thread on books, so this thread can double up as a what-yer-reading now thread, West Ham related or not. I am currently reading Jonathan Rose, The intellectual Life of the British Working Classes. Delved straight into chapter 9, Alienation from Marxism. Fascinating insight into what inoculated us from communism: communists themselves apparently. 

Anyway, enjoy the books and hopefully you find something interesting among them and have some good suggestions on what to add.

Wils, any chance of you adding 'They Played For John Lyall : The West Ham Years' by Tim Crane?  It's The best West Ham book I've read

Great idea I read a lot of autobiographies and sporting books. Also highly recommend they Played For John Lyall an outstanding read. There is also the Billy Bonds and Bobby Moore versions as well. West Ham - The Managers is also a great book albeit a few years old now. Both John Lyall and Ron Greenwoods autobiographies are also a terrific read.

On the entertainment front all books by Roger Moore and Michael Caine are highly enjoyable with some great Hollywood stories. At the moment I am reading Parkys People which is 100 interviews from the Parkinson Show and it's a super book. Stumbled across it after I read his autobiography.

I am reading the P.G. Wodehouse Blandings books and they are so well written and hilarious..
Don't read Something Fresh on public transport as you will get funny looks.

I just bought the hard cover book from Amazon of Admiral Andrew Cunningham one of our best naval commanders of WWII.
