True story about her life of heroin addiction and prostitution - I'm enjoying it anyway :P
Hope that's the book "Rufus"!! ....and not the heroin addiction and prostitution. :shock: :shock: :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

thanks for all your recomendations guys,
went to library with my shortlist for your lot,

really gutted i couldnt get (they didnt have any record of this author) RUFUS's suggestion, in my skin, where did you get your copy from ??? sounds up my street (pardon the pun !)

i got one of "Stuart Macbrides" cant remember the title and i have packed it but looks good, has a chair on the front? thanks for that ARTY MAC...
i also managed to get the mrs & mr nice, i couldnt get into mr nice so will try this one, thanks FT

cisco those sound good, will look out for them,
and the mountain disaster one, thanks SS67

the history of the tulip bulb doesnt sound very gripping however, sorry :D

thanks again guys, got 2 to keep me going.


and please guys keep them coming,
just chilling .....

I recommend any of Malcolm Gladwell's books.

These three in particular:

Blink
The Tipping Point
Outliers

Chillers my American friend loaned her copy to me but I reckon you could get it of amazon. I do think you'd like it 8)

And Arty fear not I'm neither addicted to heroin (hate needles) nor a hooker :wink: :lol: but it is a cracking book that I relate to :?
