Don't worry I have no intention of having a drawn out trivial debate with Naker in your thread noodles.

Sorry, cant add anything to the hoops book list. I am a book hoarder too, but my only sports books are surfing ones.

Have you got Tom Carrol's? I borrowed off a mate years ago and loved it but i've never seen a copy of it since. need to find out what it was called so i can buy it again.

And Naker i have 5 of the 10 but was hooping a few hoop heads on here might have read some they can shed some light on - i always like to try something someone recommends over something off a list.

Yeah, thats 'Surfing the World' - had a good flick through at a mates as well but don't have a copy myself. Sean Doherty 'The Moment' is a good one, a hundred pictures and the stories that go with them.

Yeah GoT is awesome. Prob the best show I'm following right now.

i've actually downloaded the book as well but just haven't had time to actually read it. Maybe I'll just let the HBO series tell the story. What a way to finish episode 5!!

The tv series is really good, HBO do good stuff but you just don't get everything you do from the books. This is always the case i guess but if you're into the sci/fi fantasy style then George R Martins Song of Ice and Fire series is definitely a must read.

Yeah I know. The books are usually a lot better cause there are stuff that gets left out like Lord of the Rings which had a slightly different ending to the movies.

I'll get to the books when I stop wasting so much of my time here on BB :P

hmmm I usually read the books after I finish the series since if you have already read it then its kinda spoiled...

speaking of LOTR, are they going to make another movie?

i.e. prequel - "similarion tales"

the book is already.
