Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. He is a chef/writer/travel writer. It is all about his life in kitchens from kitchen porter to chef proprietor.

Wife's favourite book. Is on my list. Iain Banks as well (as opposed to his 'M.' alter ego). Complicity is up near the top, yes, along with The Crow Road and Dead Air. Course, you should read Pratchett as well, incredibly intelligent humour. And talking of which, Christopher Brookmyre.

Ill try them as dead air is the only Iain Banks ive read. ive just ordered that ...ambiguity book, just coz i liked the title innit, so im holding you responsible.

Talking of books made into films.'Perfume' by Patrick Suskind is a great book. If youve seen the atrocious film dont be put off as it is quite brilliant!!

Strangely enough I've seen the film and my brother and I bought the book for the sweetest smellling second cousin you could hope for this Christmas.

If any of you like autobiogrophys after you finish Jason Donovans you should also read 'I Was a Robot' by Wolfgang Flur!!

Shouldnt have opened that second bottle!!  'autobiographies'

If you don't, I shall send you £6.99. (as long as you got the right one, cos there are two, one by William something which inspired this one......)

Ah.

Really must pay attention.

Go on, laugh it up.

I'll read them in order then, William something first.

Whoops.

I shall start putting Amazon links in......

The other one is not a novel, it's about literary criticism, I think....

BTW, you can cancel amazon orders if they haven't been despatched....

So, what's the book of the year? I should keep in touch though I never do...

According to Booker or according to Richard and Judy?

Yeah, but it was really cheap so ill kep it in a lucky dip kinda way. yes, lit crit. lordy, that coulda gone horribly wrong.

kind of you to include links but you really cant be held responsible - i just googled the title like a berk!

i get all mine - as far as poss - from the book depository who trade on amazon. used to be a bit of a jfk conspiracy freak so i just like the name. plus the (occasional) free bookmarks  

Oh I dunno. Try Kate Atkinson.....

Are the Richard and Judy book awards something to be aware of?
