On the going out front Live Music is my thing, But can handle indie nights, Dub stuff (with Drum and Bass thrown in) Funk and Soul, Psychadelic tripped out stuff or any of the above really.
Thomas Hardy (particularly 'Jude the Obscure', a nice cheery light read) The Brontes (Wuthering Heights , another book packed with laughs) John Steinbeck, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kurt Vonnegut, (will fight the temptation to make another big list here and anyway I change mi mind like the wind on this one).

In terms of books about footy 'Blue Moon, Down with the dead men' about Man City's fall into the old third division is a good un, With music books am part way through Dylans Chronicles.
