As a chef myself it was refreshing, it's him that's considered 'chef' by chefs globally. He relates to the demands of the job physically and emotionally. Unlike the Ramsays of the world all ego and pretension. I knew he was true when he mentions... -

It really shows the power of McCarthy as a writer, when the ending of a book can have such a profound effect on you. I know in the States his books are studied at degree level and if they ever added his books to the curriculum over here, I’d be...

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. It's an autobiographical account of his life upto 2000 and how he ended up as a chef. But, it is the antithesis of the celebrity cook stuff that followed in it's wake. It's not pretty and to be honest...

I saw the film before I read the book and thought it was fantastic movie and very dark. It still didn't prepare me for the book though which affected me for a few days after reading it.

The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh. It's the story of a soldier collecting bodies for burial after the end of the Vietam War, intermingled with flashbacks from his past, written in a stream of consciousness style. It does not romanticise war as many...

Love.

Same here with The Road and being a dad. First time I read it, I was that cut up, I had to out for a walk just to get my head together. I still try and read it once a year, but really have to prepare myself mentally to read it. I hated the...

The Road was the last fictional book I read, very emotional as a dad myself. No fiction always my go to, mainly ancient history, pre flood theory etc. So in that vein Andrew Collins' 'From the Ashes of Angels' will turn your view on...

LostLegend replied to the thread Recommend just one book to Read,and sell it to us ..Read ‘The Name of the Rose’ recently. Was amazed by just how many other stories this has influenced.
