Chris Brookmeyer - Boiling a Frogsorry if I've spelt the name wrong. I'm sure I mentioned this in a former life in a former fts in a former whatever. Has anyone read his 'Boiling a Frog'. Real laugh out loud stuff. Loved it so much I got the rubber ducks book and was somewhat disappointed. I'm keen to read another one of his, which one would you recommend?

I think a tale etched in blood is in the local shops, do you have the time or the inclination to give a brief outline of what it's about?
