John Virgo has a new one out. I know he comes across like a boring sod but it's actually a really good read.

Mike Tyson's is an eye opener. Definitely is. Never knew how fvcked up his childhood was and how much dough he blew and gave away.

I used to read a lot of cricket autobiographies but they were all anodyne so haven't bothered for a few years. Interesting cricketing characters like Nasser Hussain and Shane Warne could have told interesting stories but didn't. I might buy Steve Harmison's book that's just come out as I think that it'd been written with a bit of passion

I read half of Botham's a while ago. No reason to not finish it.

Incidentally I went to a cricketing lunch a couple of years ago and sat next to Marcus Trescothick. What an incredibly nice and down to earth bloke he was too
