Well folks, just back from the library. Of the books mentioned that I had'nt already read, I found two. (dear boy the life of keith moon and the confessions of an economic hitman) The keith moon book is 550 pages long, so that should see me through 2010. I will keep ye posted on how i get on with these. Thanks to everyone for your reccommendations and keep them coming please. Dan how about keeping this thread open indefinately for book reviews and such?
