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.
