Days of Heaven - Italia 90 & the Charlton years by Declan Lynch.
A fascinating insight into economic , political & social life in Ireland in the late 80's early 90's - the football provides a backdrop & seems oddly peripheral at times.
Just finishing An Unquiet Mind by Dr Kay Redfield Jamison. She is Professor of Psychiatry at John Hopkins in the US. It's both a study of manic depression and her autobigraphy and she is one of the leading doctors in that area.
What makes it unique is that she herself suffers from manic depression and even once attempted suicide during one particulerly bad spell. Fascinating read and I'd well recommend it for anyone who perhaps knows someone with mental issues. I found it an eye-opener and it's not an academic book. Couldn't put it down
Room by Emma Donoghue is worth a read, just finished Nama mia by paul howard/Ross O Carroll Kelly...its pretty light reading but you would really want to have read some of the previous books in the series!
