The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux...

Have to read it for some school thing, not thinking much of it so far.

If anyone has read this or come across it, please tell me it livens up as you continue?

50p each from a car boot sale round the corner. Can't really argue with that, especially with that Cohen book among them.

How To Be Good, High Fidelity and Fever Pitch, all of which are favourites of mine. Haven't opened the new one there just yet, but every other Hornby book I've read has such a charm to it. Easily one of my favourite authors.

I like his stuff as well. High Fidelity is easily my favorite, but How To Be Good and A Long Way Down are cool as well. I didn't like Slam as much as the others unfortunately, and I haven't read anything else.

Haven't come across Slam myself, but I'd definitely pick it up if it's going on the cheap. It's neck-in-neck between the three I've read when it comes to my pick of the bunch. Fever Pitch is great stuff, but of course it strikes much more of a chord if you're an avid footie/soccer fan.

This, but have to get through the current book I'm reading before I get into it:
