Reading 'Rogue Trader'

Infact I have pretty much read it in 3 days as when I get sucked into a book I cant put it down.

Its about Nick Leeson, written by nick lesson.

Amazing reading, everybody should read it.

Seen the film?

It's not great, but it's fairly entertaining and Anna Friel's rather boffable.

Mondo Enduro. Who else has read it? What's with all the punctures? I've only got as far as Turkey and they seem to have at least one puncture or blow out every day and they are still on tarmac.

Have recently started listening to a book at bedtime on Radio 4 whilst at work and have decided to read 'one morning like a bird ' by andrew miller about pre WW 11 Japan, also fancy reading 'birdsong'
