Almost finished Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson. It's so good I feel daft for taking this long to have gotten round to reading it.

 

You're welcome.

I went back to Game of thrones and I'm half watching through the third one,

 

It's strange that the show is a mix of subtle differences and word for word dialogue usage from the books

Tbh no, my dad got me it for Christmas but I haven't even started it. Unfortunately he also got me Gordon Brown's autobiography for my bday a few days before, and I'm not someone who can just plough through books :D

Aye I read it last year. Good read. I'm on Morrissey's autobiography atm which is even more pompous than anyone could imagine. 20% of the way through and the giant ponce has only just left school. 

That looked fucking horrific to me. Tooj was saying it's littered with unintentional Partride moments.

It's pretty bad. He clearly sees himself as a genuine literary figure rather than just some bloke who used to sing in an 80s band. He has a nice enough turn of phrase but what comes over more than anything else is what a shitty outlook he has.

I've thought that for a while from interviews etc. I think he said he'd only let Penguin publish the book if it was released as a Pengiun Classic. They should've told him where to go

Currently really enjoying these two, which is no surprise given they came highly recommended from people I trust:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rap-Year-Book-Important-Deconstructed/dp/1419718185

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Homo-Deus-Brief-History-Tomorrow/dp/1910701874

 

Will try to remember to update when I finish them.

Speaking of "autobiographies", Norm MacDonald's is hilarious after finishing it today. He has a disclaimer at the start that basically says "This is largely how I remember it but nobody can ever remember every detail" and then proceeds to chronicle his career and life in the most fantastical, stupid way possible.

Homo deus was a struggle at times yet still interesting enough to want to plough on. (Read it vast majority of times before bed and was nodding more than churchill the dog). Basically the futures fucking bleak for most of mankind especially knackers like me. :)
