Well that clinches it 
I’m off sailing for a few days as of tomorrow and needed to pack a book. It has to be something light that I can just dip in and out of and I was drawing a blank. Peter James it is then. I think I’ll take a back up just in case but I’m sure that, with Partridge in mind, it’ll be a chuckle.
Ah yeah it is what it is. If you want a page turner that’s the one. Enjoy.

His claim to fame was that he’d read over 100 books iirc
Badass levels of reading that.

I turned up at Bones skate park (not the Bolton one) and Scott Bourne was in there punching himself in the face shouting “I hate this life of mine!”

The quote was “I have read over 100 books and written one myself.” 15 or so years after it was printed it is still one of the cringiest fucking things I have ever read in its earnestness and try-hard fuckwittery.
Its such a viciously average flex that Im not sure if he’s being intentionally ironic or if he is just clueless…

i read encouraging things on Slap about his first one, think international postage was heavy though
Got this from the library and just finished it.
Strange, amusing, horrible, bonkers. One of those thinkers.
