The Damned United by David Peace (which I think might be Baggy's book above) is a cracking read - even for those like me who don't like football. Not sure about Michael Sheen as Clough in the planned film, though. I'd also recommend GB84 by the same author - like a British equivalent of some of the James Ellroy novels and a fantastic fictional evocation of the year of the Miners' Strike.

What else are people reading at the moment? Thanks to Southern I am finding myself spending a lot more time with my book these days. Currently it's The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson by Douglas Lindsay. Very dark, very funny, very Scottish.
