  8 Books Every Man Should Read Less Than Zero - Bret Easton Ellis A group of narcissistic, moneyed Hollywood spawn spend their time taking drugs, drinking and shagging each other in the back of their Porches. What you wish your youth was like, basically. A tale of unbridled excess and, naturally, subsequent destruction. Me Talk Pretty One Day - David Sedaris Thought you had it tough? Growing up gay, Greek and with a lisp in North Carolina, USA, Sedaris tells the story of his youth through a series of hilarious essays. Worth it for the pithy one-liners alone. A House for Mr Biswas - V.S. Naipaul As if the fact that  A House for Mr Biswas  came out in 1961, when its author was only 28, isn’t remarkable enough, the ambition, humour and perceptiveness in Naipaul’s landmark novel is, frankly, mind-blowing. Based on Naipaul’s own father, Mohun Biswas is a Hindu Indian in Trinidad and Tobago, who we follow as he negotiates the slings and arrows of marriage, parenthood and human...

  Here's The 5 Best Sports Books Ever Written Football Against The Enemy by Simon Kuper (1994) Football Against The Enemy Financial Times  columnist Simon Kuper wrote this accomplished and quirky footballing travelogue when he was still only in his early 20s. And it's remarkably good; arguably the first and even best in the now-not-so-new wave of 'literary' football tomes that have followed in ever-greater numbers. Kuper travels to 22 countries to find out how football has shaped individual national politics and culture – and vice versa – meeting players, politicians and picking up anecdotes and observations along the way. We all know football as a global obsession, but these fascinating tales – from the tragic to the bizarre – show just how far its reach extends. Addicted by Tony Adams (1998) Addicted Adams was still a regular for Arsenal and England when his jaw-droppingly frank autobiography was published at the start of the 1998–99 season. His drinking problem destr...

  4 Of The Funniest Books Ever Written My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite (2018) - Picked by Esquire Editors Long-suffering Korede and her younger sister Ayoola live in Lagos, Nigeria, and they have each other's backs. That's especially handy for Ayoola, because she's developed a habit of killing her boyfriends – she's just polished off her third – and needs Korede to help clean up. They have a good system, but it can't last.  My Sister, the Serial Killer  moves like a thriller – pacy and punchy – but at the same time it's laced with buckets of dark comic energy. The Catcher In The Rye by J.D Salinger (1951) - Picked by David Nicholls It's strange how this novel has become a by-word for doomy, nihilistic introspection; I blame Mark Chapman. It's actually a very funny book, right from its perfect opening sentence. No one has ever captured the adolescent voice with such accuracy; the pretension, the self-importance, the heart-breaking sinc...

  The Best Audiobooks Of 2020  COLUMBI - The Louder I Will Sing  by Lee Lawrence It's now 35 years since Cherry Groce was shot by police when they raided her home in Brixton. Her son, the then 11-year-old Lee, could only watch on as she was falsely pronounced dead on the news, and as anger in the community at yet more police brutality towards Black Londoners turned into two days of violence and destruction, with petrol bombs launched and cars torched in the streets. After the riots were over, though, the aftershocks continued for Lee. Since the bullet had shattered his mum's spine, he became her full-time carer while fighting to get the police to admit they had done anything wrong. It was a fight that would take nearly 30 years. This is urgent, uplifting stuff. - The Autobiography of Malcolm X  by Malcolm X and Alex Haley Originally published in 1965, this new reading of the civil rights crusader features Laurence Fishburne voicing Malcolm X's telling of his life sto...
