I rarely read books, but I must reccommend to you lot a real belter - Frank Skinnner's auto biog. It's just sooo funny! I've had a few odd looks whilst reading on the train - just can't help laughing out loud! I don't want to spoil any gags, but it's littered with so many gems, go get it...

I agree.

Stand & Deliver, by Helena Ravenscroft is another book I've enjoyed immensely. I think it will come to be recognised as a classic bit of modern friction.

I really must expand my mind a little with some decent books. All to often I find myself reading another car mag on auto pilot, or just scouring the evening rag. What books do you lot reccommend as an absolute must?...

Top 5 books everyone? Shipwrecked, lonely island and all that?....

'C' by John Diamond. Best book I've ever read. Even though it is about death...

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks - best book I have read for years.
Behind the scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson - bit of a girls book this one but still funny and a good read.

Can't wait until I finish my Marketing Diploma and then I can read something other than Marketing text books

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually Frank Skinner trying to boost sales of his book, its amazing what people will do to promote their book (Edwina Currie - I had an affair with John Major :shudder: )
