Books ive read recently-
the slap - good read
once were warriors(ALan duff) - very good. as usual, better than the film
what becomes of the broken hearted(Alan duff) - follow on to Once were Warriors. good enough so far.
next to read is Savages, they have made a film out of that recently too.
I have had a slight fixation with prison books in the past few years. read pretty much any books i could find on them. Also French Foreign legion books, went a bit cracked on them for awhile too after a lunatic from home went off to join them. not sure if he ever made.
I loved all Irvine Welsh books, highly recommend them. if you liked trainspotting you love his books. readin in the scottish accent can be a bit tricky at first but you get used to it.
read a good book about Pablo Escabar recently as well. cant rememeber the name of it, think it was written by his brother. pretty mental what those boys got up to and the crazy amounts of money the had.
