Just finished Hop On Pop, I was disappointed, I thought the rhyming would be better, and the storyline blew.

I think that maybe he's not being entirely serious Chx.

OK... I just finished this book while on vacation (or if you prefer, "holiday" ) recently. Some good chapters about corruption in Brasil and how naive Pele was about everything, the twisted social politics behind Rangers-Celtic matches, and some funny stuff about Nigerians playing in the Ukraine. The author makes a good case for why he is a Barca fan and everyone else might want to be, his chapter on soccer and Islam is pretty encouraging, and I think he's spot on with his analysis of soccer in America.

what book is this man?

hardly a new thing, arab poets were known for such literary prowess one wrote a poem you can read backwards and top-bottom.

Very interesting...were these methods used for security or Just literary skill. It would be intruiging to know why they would perform such work

The Negotiator by Frederick Forsyth for the umpteenth time. This has got to be one of the greatest books ever written!

I have read this book twice, each time I got a different thought. I think it totally depends on the person's situation at the moment, and deffinitely Cohelo's best work; not that I rate the others hight but this is something different.

I would definately agree with that. I haven't read any of his other books though. Recommend any?

Pretty good actually. I'm not much of a reader, so I liked it. I dono how to explain and go into detail, but I think aside from minor things I didn't like, overall, I thought was good. What did you think?

It has a message man, and one can interpret it according to the situation one is in.

What parts didn't you like?
