McMafia by Misha GlennyTrue Crime, nothing to do with MacDonalds or scottish crime. It's loads of different true stories from the criminal underworld.Very graphic at parts-Man gets shot through the eye etc

Think I've seen adverts on the Tube for this.

[Mythy Collins]

good film...

[zlastboss]

the black and white film was on the other nite

watched it again classic

readnthe book in sec school but dont actually remem if there was much diff

drugs are bad

[Guest Esquilax]

It's dull, a fairly intriguing premise ruined by a unnaturally boring prose style.

Classic my arse.

Why?

[Em Dott]

Didn't make it far into this book. The beginning chapters about the siblings growing up is mind numbingly boring. Will try again but not for a little while. Was expecting good things from it as I heard it was good and I love A Time To Kill.

LITERARY CANON SUCKS

[ChickenCottage]

Better classic books out there.

what i was gonna say

[Superstition]

I've never felt the Paulo Coelho hype. His books are tedious. Maybe it's a translation problem, but for me he's hugely overrated if millions of people worldwide are falling over in reverence for this fluff

If you liked Outliers I recommend The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, on top of Gladwell's other books ofc, all very interesting and readable

This arrived a week or so ago

PG Wodehouse >>>>

[bay_u]

these are my target for the next few months or so.... top 3 are mostly bedtime reading, jst full of random questions, i like knowing random sh*t so its a good read.... re-reading 'catcher in the rye' in memory of salinger, holden reminds me of me sometimes, anxious, crazy, i like chewing the fat alot like he does, and i wish i had a sister like his tbh...

havent started The Black Swan or Peace yet... got them both for free, i stole it from borders when they were closing down, ssssssshhhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone!

[Superstition]

c/s the Salinger

Borders closing down sales were madness, on the last day there were 90% discounts. Picked up a dozen books or so for £7 at the Staples Corner branch.
