***WHAT WE'RE READING***
"Dress to Kill"
by Eddie Izzard
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1852277637/entertainments08
Reaching "deep inside the most original head in Britain",
"Dress to Kill" follows Eddie Izzard's career from itinerant
childhood to comings-out as transvestite, comic, media
personality and film star. Opinion and autobiography mingle
with hairy mammals and an astonishing array of nail varnishes
in this sumptuously illustrated and witty book that is
quintessential Izzard.

"Let Me Entertain You"
by Robbie Williams
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1852277432/entertainments08
How good can life get? Every woman loves you, every man wants
to be you. Against the odds, Robbie Williams has emerged from
Take That with credibility and sanity intact. Following a
brief spell in drink and drug hell he has now cleaned up and
taken his place in pop's great pantheon. "Let Me Entertain
You" won't land many surprises, but as a document of the
post-boy band rollercoaster, it is a Robbie essential.

"The Hip Hop Years"
by Alex Ogg
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752217801/entertainments08
Greatly misrepresented, largely misunderstood, hip hop is one
of the most important musical forms to have emerged over the
past 25 years. Born in the DJ culture of black America and
adopted and mutated by vinyl heads the world over, hip hop
now straddles both the avant garde and the mainstream. "The
Hip Hop Years" may only scratch the surface, but alongside
the Channel 4 series of the same name, it makes a decent cut.


***Shaken Not Stirred: Bond Booklist***
They say that Bond lives in the details: a martini properly
made, a holster worn well, a lighter showing the requisite
amount of wear. Sometimes shaken, never stirred, Fleming's
secret agent has been keeping the British end up ever since
his first appearance at the "Casino Royale" in 1953. From
top-hat wielding killers to cold-blooded psychopaths set on
world domination, Bond has outclassed them all. With film
number 19 on the way, Bond hysteria is about to go into
seasonal overdrive. After all, who would want to stop him
now? Jealous husbands, outraged chefs, humiliated tailors...

***Oasis in the Desert: What's the Story***
Bonehead backs out, Guigsy splits, the world gasps ... but
the Gallagher boys are not finished yet. Whatever your views
on the Oasis phenomenon--visionaries with guitars or
charlatans with borrowed riffs--they are now part of the
collective pop consciousness and show no intention of going
away quietly. High-profile marriages and spats with Blur have
only added to the momentum. With the current unscheduled
changes in personnel, the band is at a crossroads. What's the
story?
