Any book recommendations?

[Weedocbhoy60]

looking for a wee bit of guidance. 2 weeks soaking up the Sun in Catalunja. I Intend to simply relax and read and let the stress fall off. Need to load the Kindle with Celtic books and football biographies and autobiographies of an kind.
Any you guys would recommend? Also any that were garbage and I should avoid?

Just back from Catalunya. Don't know about books, but if you get bored Sitges is worth a visit. Gay capital of Spain, apparently. Never noticed anything masel .... Apart from a few topless wimmin on the beach. Great food too.

If you're into fact based books Niall, there's a great one out there..... Harry Potter!

That's Craig Levein's autobiography right?

Or the Jimmy Johnston story

Hi Jam Sam. Read them already and Celtic's Paranoia book is one of my favourite Celtic books of all time. Love it!

I love Martina Cole books but they are dark and gritty. Not football. Mostly london gangster fiction.

Jealous. Of course, if I were spending two weeks in Catalunya, I wouldn't be reading. Fomenting revolution and hitting the streets for independence with protesters, maybe. But that's me -- different strokes for different folks

Now that the season is over, I've asked the library to order Archie Macpherson's bio of Jock Stein, but while looking for other books about Celtic history (that is, history of the club, not Celtic history in general), I found a book called "Said Lizzie to Philip: How Celtic Gatecrashed the Coronation" about how Celtic won the Coronation Cup tournament in 1953. Looks interesting and something I'd put on my list of things to read.

Enjoy your trip, Niall!

Larry ask your library to order this for you the writer is none other than Brian Wilson, he is on the Celtic board.

If you're into some old time hedonism have you read William Burroughs wee book 'junky'?

If you're into fairytales, Niall, there always ''Rangers F.C. - We don't do Walking Away'' by Lisa Gray.

Think it might be a comedy.

Read Shawshank then I watched the film and remember it’s a great film but the book just takes you into Andy Dufrene’s cell. Your there
One of the best books ever enjoy.
