    Same here - but it's about HST, his life, and the writing, rather than the actual books. For instance: I didn't know that the m/cycle race and the lawmen's conference were on two separate weekends.

    Just started reading Batting on the Bosphorus
    Story of a bloke travelling round Eastern Europe in a Skoda playing cricket against such cricketing stalwarts as Estonia (national team...but playing on ice!)

    great start, very funny

    Been reading the farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb.

    Totally gripped by it. Almost as good as the gentlemen bastard books. Anyone who hasn’t read those absolutely must, they’re brilliant.

    Just about to start 'I Heard You Paint Houses' by Charles Brandt. Evidently this title was considered for Scorsese's latest film 'The Irishman'.

    Two other books with a Hull theme worth a gander are The North Water by Ian McGuire (currently being filmed for TV) and Larkinland by Jonathan Tulloch.

    If you ever visit San Antonio and see the Alamo, please don't ask to see the basement.

    Sounds like one of the ideas for a TV programme that Alan Partridge pitched to the BBC.
