loved there's only one red army, great stuff.

depending on the mood i'm in

graham greene (for something mysterious)
kurt vonnegut (for something brilliant)
carl hiassen (for something funny)

favourite book of all time though is anthropology by dan rhodes, check it out, it's the funniest thing i've ever read.

Now that I think of it Homer did more than one book.

While I'm at it - Mick Foley.

His two excellent books (Have a Nice Day and Foley is Good) are, to my knowledge, no longer being sold because of the WWF/WWE change.

People tend to dismiss them straight away because he was a wrestler but "Have a Nice Day" imparticularly is probably the best non-fiction book that I've ever read and would be near, if not at, the top of my all-time list.

If you see it or can get a lend of it then do, you won't be disappointed.

Wouldn't mind reading that actually, I read Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's alright and it wasn't bad.

An extremely good read is, quite surprisingly, Alex Fergusons autobiography.

There's a couple of Mick Foley books in Easons in Limerick if Colm or anybody else is interested. Can't remember exact titles or anything but sure it's a start right?
