Those books are quality Woof.

Not sure how historically accurate the 1421 Book is, but its a cracking read.

Now you're confusing me   :(

Is it 1421 ? earlier it was referred to as 1442 (or was that the second edition ?  :D )

I am lucky enough this season to be sitting next to an excellent author this season on the KOP, and his books have reignited my passion for reading that I had lost upon leaving school.

I myself knew nothing of Evo and his books, having sat in Block 203 for the last ten years, and also due to the fact  that I am honeslty not a big reader of books, (unless they are more pictures than words!), however this season I got a season ticket in block 205.

I was stuck next to this big galoot with a big bag, and no room. First impressions where not good. However at half time, when all and sundry came over to buy books of the big galoot I was stuck next to, I was wondering what the deal was.

Next week I was hoping to buy one off him, so I waited till halftime and tackled him, little did I know his top sales man was sat right next to him! It was his lad Ste. I ended up £30 lighter and with three books in hand.

I started the first one, and I was quickly hooked.

Affectionate well written tales of life on the bread line in Liverpool perfectly fused with wonderful lighthearted quips and humourous digression, all wrapped up in tales of the greatest team English football has ever seen. I am now well into the third installment, and hoping he will have another one ready by the time I am finished it !!!

Young and old, man and woman, literature phobe and bookworms alike, these books are a MUST, and ideal for Christmas presents for any Liverpool fan.

Buy them, read them, love them....

I've also read Curious Incident, Jonny. A good read, well written.

At present I'm reading "Out of Eden: The Peopling of the World" which is about the dawn of man.

Tell you what I read that got me into the whole physics thing, really interesting, the Bill Bryson book - A Short History of Nearly Everything.  I took it to Amsterdam and read it in the airport and on the plane.  In fact, I might read it again soon. :)
