Will be out of the country from next week for about two months. Whilst I am mostly OK with my Kindle, I find the glare of the sun makes reading on the beach difficult.
I normally take three or four paperbacks including some football books especially books about Leeds.
I read and enjoyed Revie: Revered and Reviled, The Unforgiven, No Glossing over it, We are the damned united, and The Last Champions, I read bits of and got bored with Leeds United Mission:Impossible.
Any ideas on what I can take to wile away the days?

None of those are about Leeds, unless Wakey's contribution is about the way a series of owners have shafted us.
I have ordered three Leeds books, might reread The Miracle of Castel di Sangro and pop to waterstones tomorrow.

Radebe, Strachan, John Charles biographies are all worth a read, as are Vinnie and McAllisters.
Not Leeds but worth reading are Pillars of the Earth and World Without End by Frederick Forsyth

Acid - not Leeds, but a cracking read nevertheless, I'd recommend 'Carter beats the Devil' by Glen David Gold.
For Leeds books, I enjoyed Eddie Grey's autobiography, but as with many footballer's bios it lacks substance and is mainly very readable fluff.
I've heard Tony Cascarino's autobiography is a great book, but never read it myself.
