The Belt Boy is an excellent book.
A biography about the boxer Kevin Lueshing. Really harrowing stuff and hard read at times but worth reading all the same.

Was giving a mate books at the weekend and this was in the pile. Meant to post about it a few months back.

Image result for how star wars conquered the universe

Reading the following at the moment, really enjoyable prob one of the best Star Wars history novels I've read pretty much goes into how every little detail was created (basically George Lucas ripped off Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers)

Reading Trainspotting. Some of the short stories that didn't make it into the films are mental. I'll be wary of ordering tomato soup in a restaurant from now on LOL

Just about to start Ireland's First Real World Cup: The Story of the 1924 Ireland Olympic Football Team 
 
Heard the story mentioned on Second Captains last week which inspired me to buy a copy on Amazon. "They went to the Olympic Games in 1924, part of the first team to be sent to the Olympics since independence, and it touches on the history of FIFA, the beginnings of the World Cup, and the split between the FAI and the IFA".  
 
Will let ye know what its like after I've read it.

It's excellent  One of the best football books I've read in a long while although that's probably because it delves into far more than just football .

Your Vote Means Everything/Tá Cumhacht Le Do Vóta

It's absolute title gives it away, it's about a Constitutional Referendum in Ireland. Very big online. Some readers may not like the dry content, doesn't give much away. If I suggested it was a 'whodunnit', some people may get upset with me. Promise of an reveal outcome later in the month.

3.5/3.5 Does what it says on the thing.
