Any book recommendations?

[Venceremos]

The McCann Takeover by David Low.

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!

Someone put up the words to the song " said Lizzie to Phillip" about Celtic winning the Coronation Cup on this site last year.
I added a wee bit to the song,
Said Lizzie to Phillip
We'll soon be as dead as the Rangers

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.

Got to be one of the best films ever.

That and Schindlers List.

If ye are into Politics/History, Stalin The Court of the Red Czar by Simon Sebag Montefiore is the best book I have ever read.

If you’re looking for a right rollicking read of, murder, genocide, psychotic, megalomaniacal, narcsssistic self loving and neediness, child sacrifice, tales of demon shrimps and extinction level events, take a Bible.

It will blow your fucking mind.

When I read it as an adult it all fell into place why, being a catholic, they gave us a Catechism instead.

If you don’t fancy that, anything by Bill Bryson will give you a good laugh.
