fiction, preferably.Smokin Joe said:The Cult of Violence by John Pearson. The definitive story of Reggie and Ronnie, updated from his previous work on the subject containing material which he could only publish after their deaths.
Fred and Rose by Howard Souness, chilling but fascinating.
never been that into sci fi but might try it, cheersNight Train said:I am currently reading Arthur C Clarke's Rama series, very gripping from my perspective and with a lot of intrigue and thought provoking sci-fi stuff.
cheers, might try that - is it at least semi-fictional?Rhythm Thief said:Anything from George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series. Funny and clever, and cracking stories based on real historical events. Very gripping indeed.
prose, not poetry.The Velvet Curtain said:How about the telephone directory, lots of characters but little plot, and a load of Polish people turn up at the end.
Failing that try some of the classics, Shelley, Hardy or Lawrence.

Lardyboy said:Or if you want a totally bizarre reading experience I can recommend The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. You've got the devil and his followers, a poet in a mental hospital for telling the truth, a reconstruction of the story of Pontius Pilate, all set in early Soviet Russia. No wonder Stalin surpressed it!
