Just started reading The Young Team by Graeme Armstrong. Brilliant so far. Got the same feeling as when I first read Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh and Grits by Niall Griffiths all those years ago. @graemearmstrong.bsky.social

Trying to decide which book to read next. Graeme Armstrong's 7 hour playlist of shite rave music that can be listened to while reading his book may have swung me to Raveheart.

A pile of some of my 'to be read' books, with Graeme Armstrong's fluorescent pink Raveheart lying atop Bob Mortimer's latest effort, and Dennis Glover's The Last Man In Europe

And special mention to @graemearmstrong.bsky.social and his new book Raveheart. Goosebumps reading this which I find is rare. Particularly special though is seeing your name and old tunes in there which feels like a lifetime ago. Which is sad that it's over, but special in that it happened.
