I just finished Humble Pie and my god...I thought he was a legend before, but now I think he needs a capital "L"
It's a blunt, no-bullshit depiction of a driven man. He certainly stands tall in the Machiavellian world of the professional chef, and some of the crap that goes on in the industry makes me happy I work in a normal job. Read it now!!!

Just finished his second book "Playing with fire". Much more insight into the business and how it is structured. Not as good as Humble Pie imho.I just finished Humble Pie and my god...I thought he was a legend before, but now I think he needs a capital "L"

Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Just finished a couple of good books.
Roger Ball! A Naval aviation career of Hawk Smith.
From the back seat of an F-4, to development days of the Tomcat and CO of TOPGUN at Miramar.
How to hand an egotistical pilot their arse on a plate. Tactics Baby!
A-10 Warthog in the gulf war.
The aircraft that was on the way to the scrapheap, but was sent to the gulf. It ended up doing everything possible in a combat zone, from air-to-air gun kills, to SEAD, tankbusting, recon, wild weasel and everything in between.
A couple of great books, but now back to Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance.

Just finished reading 'This Charming Man' by Marian Keyes, I enjoyed it, huge book but quite light reading with chooky characters. Although it has a underlying message about domestic abuse, dont let that put you off as it quite an enjoyable book and a bit of a laugh and it all ends well.

Come warm yourself by the fire
Hmmm may not be able to remember Authors so will have to post books too.
Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged, the Fountainhead.................the only reason people fear her books is that its getting far to relevant for my liking in todays society. And when you deal with morons day in day out like i do, its does make you question the world.
John Hersey - Hiroshima.................a different world to what people my age know.
Brooks? - Assassins apprentice? series...................because having connections with animals is something special.
However i dont have much time for flights of fancy these days, in fact sitting on my desk right now is Numerical Distance Protection - Gerhard Ziegler *shudder* and my god its boring.
