most of the ones I've read are Cardiff related.

really enjoyed Dave Jones book and as a quick read Andy Leggs is good although short.

Warnock is interesting now he is at City, not the best written but interesting.

Have you purchased Warnock's book yet titled "The Gaffer"? It's a brilliant read.

Tonteg is spot on - great read which can be done on an 8 hour away coach journey. Even with the smell of weapons-grade beer and nuclear pie farts, you won't put it down.

Read Andrea Pirlo's autobiography recently. No false modesty from the great man, but interesting and entertaining.

Judging by your posts on here I think you'd be happy reading the back of a bottle of ketchup.

Totally agree with this.if you like King his Dark Tower series is also worth a try. It's a sort of western/fantasy / multiple realities mash up with some fantastic characters and great action. Seven books in all starting with The Gunslinger.
