Xmas reading

Postby Dombo » Wed Dec 26, 2012 1:02 pm

Two excellent books appeared in my stocking : Seven Deadly Sins by David Walsh and Bradley Wiggins autobiography. Think I'll read Walsh first to draw a line under that chapter in my rah rah hero worship of the cheating Texan drug-monkey.

I finished Tyler Hamilton's book on Xmas Eve, then read Wiggo's book Xmas Day and Boxing Day. Now I'm getting stuck into Victoria Pendleton.

Have to say, the Walsh book is excellent, very well written.

The Walsh book is on my reading list.

I was bought the Merckx book 'Half Man Half Bike' for Xmas, and it's a good read so far.

Have just finished 'Pedalare! Pedalare!', which is a history of Italian Cycling. Very enjoyable. I never really appreciated what a big deal cycle racing was in Italy in the early days. I'd highly recommend it.
