To continue the "what are you doing" theme.
I am an avid reader, and often have several books on the go at once.
Currently:

Who am I? by Pete Townsend
Mr Nice by Howard Marks
How hard can it be? by Jeremy Clarkson

Oh, DJ, shop manuals don't count mate ;)

DJ, have you read the follow up to Beer in Hell? It's called Assholes Finish First. Not quite as funny, but worth a look

keeping aside all debates, he really served his country. RIP. I was looking into buying the book from Kindle, recently when the tragic news came out. :( Some negative reviews held me off. Did you like it? May be I will try a sample from Kindle first.

so far so good. He certainly doesn't apologize for anything (And shouldn't). One thing I like is that the book includes sections written by his wife - her perspective on things. I'm only about a fifth of the way through. I didn't look at the reviews to be honest.

Im into reading biographies, and just finished "From makeup to breakup" by Peter Criss...the original Kiss drummer.

Some pretty juicy details in there.

There is a book called "How to get divorced by 30". Great book. Easy read and had me rolling at times.

Me too. Have you read "I am Ozzy"? Love him or hate him, the book is piss your pants funny, and a great incite into the world of Rock n Roll.

I'm reading "Long way down" at the moment. It's Ewan McGregors book about his ride from Scotland to South Africa. It's a good read, makes you want to by a BMW GS and quit your job. I like books like that.

He's a mad bike guy. He did the commentary for "Fastest". A 2 hour documentary on Moto GP. A good watch.
