Couple of good books iv'e read lately are Cider With Roadies by Stuart Maconie,which tells of his early days in Wigan(seeing The Beatles at 3 years old!),through to his time as a music journalist with the New Musical Express & his time on the road with various bands.Something i could relate to as he's around my age and i used to read his work in the NME.At times it is extremely funny.The other book is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon,wich is a kind of murder mystery but the narrator & detective is a 15 year old boy with Asperger's Syndrome (think Rain Man),it is both a sad and very funny,and has won several awards.On the subject of horror books,can anyone remember those you could buy in the 70's & 80's with several stories in one book?What were they called?
