Stoner is good but completely different from Butcher's Crossing.

Just getting stuck into "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro.

I've flown through Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century this week. His two previous books, Sapiens and Homo Deus are brilliant as well, can't recommend these three highly enough.

[Eoin McLove]

I've read two of those and yeah, they are really interesting reads.

I got a present of 'I partridge', the Chopper biography and 'Lords of Chaos' from a buddy from home. What a trio, I think he's under the impression I'm in jail or something Nice few additions to the pile.

The Chopper books were good up to the third one. The fourth scraped by, he was adding his own imagination to the stories a fair bit in my opinion.
From book 5 on, utter dogshit.
In fairness I only read as far as the 8th book (my mate loaned me them years ago).
So can't comment on the other 6 or 7 books he 'released'. 
He was some character by all means and I've watched the film a good few times too. Nutter..

Ah the film, cherished by lads worldwide.

'Two hundred thousand copies. I'm semi fuckin' literate mate. Those intellectuals must hate me' 🤣

Where the fuck do you all get the time? Seriously are you reading at work or reading while the missus/fella is talking to you or while doing the DIY or while doing the housework when the partner is at work or do you actually actually manage to squeeze 50 hours out of the day? Seriously, where do ye get the time to read all this stuff and listen to all this stuff and also go to work and have other hobbies and still be on the main page bollixing about tunes that you had the time to go finding as well as listen to the stuff you already like?

The only time i get to read in peace is when I'm on the shitter and even then I'm on the shitter so I do have to get off it after a bit so it doesn't look weird. Honestly how the fuck do ye find the time?

[Kurt Cocaine]

Every now and again I put the Internet away (phone & laptop) and go on a house work and book buzz. It's amazing how much free time you have when the net isn't distracting you.

I'm working from home (few hours a day), so I usually have breakfast, go back to bed and read a bit, another snooze, bit of work on the computer, shite talk on here at the same time. She doesn't trust me to clean properly (I wish I could say this is by design, a buddy of mine makes a cunt of everything on purpose so his wife won't ask him again)so I'll just tip out in to the balcony with the book for a few hours late afternoon after the lunch aswell.

You have kids?

You have kids?

I do as it happens. And meself and the wife are working more hours rather than less since this kicked off. I was getting a bit of reading in before this lark, I flew through ASOIAF series in record time and now since this, it seems I can't find the time. I suppose as mentioned, putting away the laptop might free up a bit or maybe not drinking cans every night would also help. I guess I could be doing a bit now but it's not great watching two 4 year olds while reading a book. Much easier put this down every 2 mins than losing train of thought with the book over and over

[Don Gately]

You really need to make time. I have 2 kids too, they are a bit older than yours. I get up around 7am. I always try to read for 20 minutes in the morning and hit the sack with a book and read another 30 minutes if I can stay awake. If I have a couple of beers I just knock it on the head.

Some prat in one of those Sunday paper magazines was asked recently about his reading habits . Apparently he recently asked his PA to schedule in 30mins reading time a day for him. You need a PA man.
