its been years since a read a book from start to finish in a few sittings but ooo my.......peeps at work bought me the Long Way Down and i cant put it down..its ace...gonna ave to buy me the dvd for christmas....sorry for pathetic post but it had to be said lol

the last book i couldn't put down an the only book iv ever read was "The Ice Man confessions of a mafia contract killer" what an awsome book... not for the faint hearted thoe that one.

Ive asked for the book and DVD for christmas, gad to hear the book is a good read! Last book i read front to back was 'Dirty Americans' by Ben Mezrich. Quite a good book, and before that 'Bringing down the House' by the same author.

just be or was everyone else really disapointed in long way down? they might as well have stuck the bikes on a trailor and drove the bloody thing, wasnt hardcore at all

last book i read cover to cover in 1 day was the latest harry potter, hes so cool

well i'm still on book 4 of the wheel of time, been reading it for 6 years soo far, think i'm on chapter 3. fantastic book, just dont have the time for reading.

Was a bit dissapointed by LWD yes. I think because of the dangers of travelling in certain parts the support crew stayed close, having said that there pretty dangerous parts in LWR. LWR was alot more eventful too.

I was really disappointed in Long way down. They didnt really seem to do anything! one of the things i liked most about LWR was them experiencing different cultures, and you jsut didnt really get to see that in LWD. Just got to see alot of falling off! I will read the book at some point, and i hope that's better than the DVD.

Have you seen LWR superman?

If you've got time to pinch a loaf then you've got time to read!

Dean Koontz books are always good - especially all of the ones from the last few years. I've recently got into Andy McNabb books as well - ironically AFTER I've done all the surveillance malarkey...

I think the last really great book I've read that you buggers might be interested in is "My Story" - the biography of Alex Zanardi, from starting racing karts through to losing both his legs after being t-boned at 220mph in an Indy Car... then through to winning his first WTC race a few years later! brilliant book and very funny in places!

I also just finished one of Senna's biographies that was very interesting, but more technical than Zanardi's. I wonder if Mansell ever did one...?

Or a great book about the life of a bouncer in some of Coventry's roughest clubs - "Watch My Back" by Geoff Thompson. It goes from hilarious to horrifying tales that are far scarier than any horror story.

Ive read Alain Prosts biography, and i think Ayrton Senna's, long time ago tho. Also Jaques Villeneuve. Thats when i was properly into F1 and wouldnt miss a race for anything!

Just finished jupiters travels by ted simon THAT is a hardcore bike ride four years around the world in the seventies on his own, on a leaky triumph,it was one of the inspirations for lwr,lwd,no support crew,just a man on a mission ,no dvd, no t shirt,not on tv, but a great book
