Trois hommes dans un bateau (Three men in a boat).

Not sure why I'm reading the French translation when the original was in English...

A Lion Called Christian. Or at least, I'm going to be reading it once it arrives. Saw the youtube clip and it's such a moving story. Can't wait to read it!

There is a book about that? Will have to check it out, I saw the video in question though and that was pretty inspirational!

Picked up a number of new books today, and the first one up is " A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey read the first 15 page on the way back and it is interesting so far...

Yeah, there are actually quite a few books that were published about him. I bought the one written by Anthony Bourke & John Rendall; they were the two people who bought and raised Christian in the first place, after all!

I would appreciate if once it arrives you would let me know how it is ^^, can't really buy any more book right now until I slog through some of this ever increasing pile of backlog which I want to read.

It arrived yesterday and I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. It's brilliant so far. The way that they describe Christian and their experiences with him is pretty magical. All of the pictures are the cherry on top of a very fine cake! :3
