    Re: Biographies

    I just read The moon's a balloon, David Niven's first autobiography. Full of exaggerations I assume but one of the best books I've read.

      Re: Biographies

      I love autobiographies. This year I've read David Essex, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Pamela Stephenson, Danny Baker, Michael Caine and Sting and I am currently reading Brian Blessed's. I love getting an insight into their early lives and read them as much for a indication of everyday living from times gone by as for their life stories.

                Just finished former Everton player Alan Stubbs' book and it's a cracking read. Obviously I'm an Everton fan but the guy is someone I respect massively and he's a great bloke too. A great story and very easy to get into. I absolutely cannot wait for the upcoming Mike Tyson biography, I'm a massive fan and the guy has lived a hell of a life. I can't wait.

                On the fence on whether to bother with this Alex Ferguson book, I respect him a lot but I'm hearing a few mixed reviews about the book. It seems he has decided to take a swipe at certain people for the hell of it.

                              Just finished reading 'Queens of Noise' by Evelyn McDonnell, a biography of the Runaways. Very good read, unbiased & gives all points of view. I definitely recommend it to any fans of the Runaways, or anybody into the mid-late 70s LA/California music scene.
                              & just started 'Lowdown' by Paul Lester, a history of WIRE, with a foreword by Johnny Marr. Hard book to put down. Definitely worth a peep.
