What Was The Last Book You Read?

OUT OF HOURS BULLY'S TRUCKSTOP BAR (INTERACTIVE)
21

I read almost anything except the warnings on ■■■ packets :laughing:

Currently nearly finished Alexander Cordell’s trillogy about the South Wales valleys. Prior to that Archer, Jeremy Clarkson, Ben Elton, Birds Eye Frozen Peas cooking instructions,Tom Sharp, Stephen King, John Grisham … and many more.

I usually buy from second hand shops as I go through so many.

22

currently reading no logo by naiomi kline, about how big multinational companies have changed to just selling their brand and not actually manufacturing anything, its a superb read, very informative i would recommend it to everyone!!

23

Im actually half way through the first proper book ive ever read,and i cant put it down,its called WATCH MY BACK by geoff thompson, hes a coventry bloke who had a reputation for being a bit of a nut case on the doors back in the eighties, it is well worth a read

24

Coffeeholic:
I can’t read the Harry Potter books, I find them too unbelievable. The magic etc is one thing but a ginger kid with two friends,come on that just goes beyond the boundaries of believability.

LOL!

dave:
and a few autobiographies, namely

lenny mc,clean, the london doorman /prize fighter. great book

you should look out for any Dave Courtney books if you nlike that one, another door man and ex gangster, some very funny and very serious stuff in his books

montana man:
The Bible

Personally I found it poorly written, lacking plot, substance and believability :wink:

Tin hat on and preparing for “GodSquad” back lash :smiley:

Just remembered some guy called Keith Nobbs, Neil Kobbs or something like that wrote a book about truck driving. Had some sort of caffiene fettish I seem to remember. Good book when you got past the endless cups of coffee - some sort of work-shy foreigner I imagine. Might have been Scottish masquerading as a Brit - I can’t remember :smiley:

Good book as it happens - just goes to show it tales all sorts :laughing: :laughing:

32

Just finished Catalina by Somerset Maugham, before that was Walter Scott’s “The Antiquary”.

@ Harry Monk: Before that was “The Road to Wigan Pier” - I’m into Orwell too although I haven’t read “Down and Out” yet.

I’ll read practically anything - like Gardun, my supply comes mostly from second hand bookshops. Apart from rare trips to the UK that means the choice is fairly restricted! I can read Finnish well enough to read newspapers and HGV owners’ manuals :wink: and the like but not proper literature.

There is a fantastic second hand bookshop near Rochdale (George Kelsall) that I used to drive past daily while I was doing my Eaton’s twin splitter ‘test-driving’ job. In fact that job is how I discovered the bookshop. Once when I was in there the owner was complaining bitterly about the number of enormous wagons going through the village day and night! I didn’t say that I was guilty of taking a 420hp V8 past his door every day. :laughing: In fact that wagon was triple-shifted so it actually went past three times a day…

I have had lots of books from there over the years and have bought a couple of boxes full from him on the rare occasions that I visit the UK.

Have read a lot lately on my Italian trips.
Vulcan 607- the story of the bombing raid on Port Stanley airstrip during the Falklands War.Fascinating story.

Flashman and the Redskins.Great read.

The Pedants Revolt-Why Most Things You Think Are Right Are Wrong
The Pedants Return-Why Most Things You Think Are Wrong Are Right
Two interesting books.

Also love anything by Len Deighton.

34

Down and Out in Paris and London is a great book…I’ve read it three times.

Last book I read was Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, it’s not my sort of thing really and I didn’t enjoy it much.

Before that I read World Trucks: Dennis by Pat Kennett.

35

Vinegar Hill from Manette Ansay

I remember reading that one :wink: thought the author was called Rab C Nesbit though

SWMBO picked it up and read it as well, she thought it was a nice book and she doesn’t even like trucks :open_mouth:
