Mr Clean
AKA Teddy Wong
Anyone else an avid reader? Recommend any good books? I read a lot of the time when I not doing anything musically. I mainly ready auto/biographies, true stories but I don't mind a bit of fiction if it's the right kind of the story.
For anyone interested in true crime, I can't recommend enough, Wicked Beyond Belief. This is one of the very best books I've ever read. The hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper was the most amazing cock up in British police history and the book is just a fantastic read.
Devil's Knot is another fantastic book. The story of the West Memphis 3 is one that I've followed since my teenage years and even though you know that they were found guilty and sentenced, reading the book you can't believe that they would be found anything but not guilty. Awesome book.
The Damage Done: Twelve Years Of Hell In A Bangkok Prison. I've read a lot of prison books over the years, all true stories but none of them really compare to this one. Austalian Warren Fellows story behind bars for drug trafficking. Brutal story, great read!
I won't rant on but I'll list a few of my favourite books.

Fifty Dead Men Walking : Martin McGartland
