I heard rugby player Jonah Lomu on talk sport today.

He has just had a book published, and it goes into detail
about his Kidney problems. He is waiting for a transplant
and has played all his life with kidney problems.

Sounded a top bloke on the radio and he is going round
the UK signing his book at the moment.

See for where
he will be.

You might find a book by Rob Lewis called Fishers Of Men a good read.It is about the very dangerous covert work of a British agent (Lewis), while he was working in the Army's Force Research Unit in Northern Ireland.The FRU was so secret that only a few within the whole Army knew of its existence.

try 'Mankind - Have a Nice Day' by Mick Foley.
he's a retired american wrestler (utter shite I know) one of those books that are strangely captivating but your not sure why

Peter Sellers - Alexander Walker
Stanley Kubrick - John Baxter
Kenneth Williams Diaries
Brighton Rock - Graham Greene
One Hundred years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Wild Swans - some Chinese bint (Something Chang I think)
Hard Times - Dickens
The Idiot - Dostoevsky
Fight Club - bit depressing though as it's so bleakly cynical.


and not forgetting the superlative Being Jordan by ummm oh I forget now. 200 odd pages of some hapless balloon titted tart talking about her numerous boyfriends dick size. One to read the kids at bedtime.

'Touching the void' an excellent read, not exactly an autobiog, but a true story, and great film.
