In-Ger-Land! In-Ger-Land! Why In-Ger-Land wont win the World Cup?

Picked this up for RM 8.00 at the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.

Whatever written on the cover explains what it is all about really.....

So In-Ger-Land qualified for Euro 2012. Who cares - they won't win it anyway!

Weekend read it is - reviews coming up!

OK. No point posting a new entry for review- so here is it for the book mentioned above -

England - either you're a fan, or you're a person who would just love to see the team crash and burn (despite some of the players from your favorite club plays international football for them).

I'm of the latter.

I enjoy seeing England scrape through qualifiers, then listen to their fans proclaiming "We will win it this time!" (then again, being a Liverpool fan, I utter that often too!) before watching them crash and burn spectacularly in tournaments.

So what about the book? Without giving away what sort of arguments thrown in explaining the title, lets put it this way - if you, like me, is a person who absolutely LOVE seeing Rooney getting a red, or them overpaid football stars/ divas under perform in the international stage, this one's a keeper.

Otherwise, you'd be wasting your hard-earned money...then again, it's selling for only RM 8.00 at the book sale, so why not eh?

Big Bad Wolf Books Sale 2011 Guide!

Things to consider before heading in.....

Snapped up these two screenplays at the Big Bad Wolf Books Sale today!

The Annotated Godfather - The Complete Screenplay - RM 12.00

and.....

The Inglourious Basterds screenplay by Quentin Tarantino! - RM 5.00 (no shit!)

If you're still not sure where the Big Bad Wolf Books Sale is at, take the SKVE, and exit at the Serdang Hospital turn. Follow the markers (lots of buntings roadside) and you can't miss it.

The sale opens to the public from tomorrow (7th) til the 16th October, from 10 a.m to 9 p.m I think.

Bring them trolleys, shopping carts, pulley bags, or whatever to make your carrying of the books around the 'hangar' easier.

In case you happen to forget them trolleys etc, you can borrow boxes and also 'park' your haul (before you pay) at these 'bays' / counters , and claim them back once you're about to pay them.

It's to the right side of the entrance.

Have fun, and one last tip - bring lotsa cash, or better, bring a credit card! (Visa)

Happy book hunting!

One book (magazine) you should not miss getting at this year's Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.

Woke up today to the sad news about the passing of Apple & Pixar's CEO and founder, Steve Jobs due to pancreatic cancer. Jobs was 56.

Was at the Big Bad Wolf Books sale in Serdang later this morning, and guess what? Back issues of WIRED (July 2011) with Jobs' face on the cover was on sale. Eerie coincidence, yet brilliant piece about how he brought Apple come to be.

Regardless whether you're an iFag or not, this copy of Wired is a great read- at only RM 8.00!

So yeah. If you are heading to the Big Bad Wolf sale, make sure to hop by the magazine section to get your own copy.

Will put out a piece about the Big Bad Wolf books sale later tonight.
