1st one was 'Playing the Moldavans at Tennis' & it was pretty cool.. Good read, very funny..
I was at my friend Arthur Smith's house watching the England soccer team play the little know Eastern European state of Moldova on TV. The gane failed to hold interest and we became involved in a pointless argument about how good I was at tennis.
The debate's conclusion was a bet - that I couldn't beat all eleven members of The Moldovan soccer team at tennis with the loser agreeing to strip naked on Balham High Rd and sing the Moldovan national anthem....this one was too hard to resist. He has another book that I'd like to get my hands on 'Round Ireland with a Fridge' the story of his absurd quest to hitch round the circumference of Ireland within a month... with a fridge. ..
Also just finished 'Memoirs of a Gehsia' also a pretty good reaad..

I'm currently reading "Round Ireland with a Fridge' A friend bought if for me for my trip there but forgot to bring it with me. Reading it now and loving it, very funny. I'm reading it on my lunch breaks at work and keep getting strange looks as I laugh out loud. It's the one thing in my day that I have to look forward to.

I just finished '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0786808772/qid=1066011395/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-0328427-3331869?v=glance&s=books&n=507846">SummerLand</a>' by Michael Chabon. It was really good. Not often that an author can write a book that would appeal to the sence of ennui within an adult.
Am currently reading '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393324508/qid=1066011840/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/103-0328427-3331869">Porno</a>' by Irvin Welsh. I'm having trouble finding some time to really get into it. With the phoneticly written scotish, it require more concentration to read than I can give it at the moment.

Marching Powder was good. I think it would be frealy to go to that prison, but I am sure it is now a horrible tourist trap. I'd love to go on an adventure....

Just started "Hard Boiled Wonderland & the End of the World" by Haruki Murakami. I'm hoping I'll be able to find time this week to get it finished along with all the homework I'm going to get.
