[happy_tiger]

A couple I have picked up in the bargain bins that I really enjoyed
Dickie Birds was really enjoyable
Gus Gould's "Good as Gould"
John Daly's Wild Thing
Alan Davidson's 15 paces.
Happy Hookers The story of the 75-76 Test series between Australia and West Indies also was agreat read
Best innings I reckon I have ever seen Roy Fredericks scoring 169 v Lillee ,Thomson,Walker and Gilmore in Perth
My late Grandfather watched it with me as a young boy and he saw McCabe get his ton in Bodyline and he said he thought Frederick's ton was braver thans McCabe's

That is a bizarre story and shows how low profile Australian rugby was back in the late 80s early 90s!

Other one I forgot that was different picked up a fair few years ago was the dual Tim Horan and Jason Little autobiography

Personally rate Tim Horan the best Australian rugby player I have seen

Dead lucky by Lincoln Hall
The Himalayan cycle continues – winter, pre-monsoon climbing season, monsoon, post-monsoon climbing season, and winter again. Every pre-monsoon season climbers continue to flock to Everest, but thankfully the death toll remains much less than during the 2006 season when I looked like being the 12th and final fatality.
excerpt from LincolnHall.net

A really gripping and enthralling read. I love reading about Everest expeditions but, this is in my opinion is the best I have read by far.

Definitely Steve Waugh's 'Out of my comfort zone', it's a massive book but it chronicles his life and his career. It's very engaging and provides a great insight into the mind of the great batsman on and off the field.
