    I know it's not fashionable but I do still love a good book. Just about to start THE SECRET MINISTRY OF AG. & FISH by NOREEN RIOLS.

    David Jefferies the official biography. Great book about a motorcycling legend. Makes me wonder if John McGuinness would be as successful at the TT if DJ was still around.

    I have been reading the Deadlocked series by A.R.Wise.
    If you like the whole Zombie horror genre then this is for you.
    Comes in 7 parts, and you can get part 1 free on Amazon for Kindle or Kindle app on iPad.
    The others are not very expensive either.
    I am currently on the final part. However there are two further parts dealing with some back stories for other characters prior to their arrival in the novellas.

    Charly Wegelius's autobiography Domestique: The Real-life Ups and Downs of a Tour Pro, if you like pro cycling, its a good insight into a team domestiques life

    I'm not a big book reader But did really enjoy The Long Ride Home. I have Nathan the author as a Mate on FB as I was watching his journey when he was doing it.

    I read the book in a week and as I said I'm not a big book reader or fast reader so this was very good

    100% worth getting for any biker who always wanted to take a trip of the life time

    Not got enough time or patience for reading, but with my job i spend loads of time in my car and have moved on to audio books by running them through the stereo on my iPhone.

    Audiobooks so far:-
    The Hunger Games trilogy - having seen the film from the 1st book, the audio books were very good, especially the 1st one.
    Steve Jobs, autobiography - A very good history lesson on my understanding of computers from the early days and how he pursued the technology parallel to Microsoft.
    Richard Branson's, Loosing My Virginity - interesting take on business philosophy from a non conformist view.
    Lee Evans biography - crap.
    Michael McIntyre, biography - a look on a disastrous start to his career and how he persevered to become a household name.
    Michael Cane, from Elephant to Hollywood, biography - just reaching the end of this one, interesting story, but lots of name dropping.
