Let’s have a look at our bestselling books for last month. The clocks changed, the evenings became darker and all you had to snuggle were your books. What did you buy?
1 – Autobiography by Morrissey
The lead singer of Girls Aloud writes about guesting on drums for Queens of the Stone Age following his international smash hit album Graceland. The passage about his Hanson tribute act with John Lennon and the Black Eyed Peas’ apl.de.ap is particularly illuminating.
2 – My Autobiography by Alex Ferguson
Insert equally witty nonsense blurb about obscure football teams and historical Division One players, wedging in the old pub quiz answer about Stockport County being closest to the River Mersey and something about football teams with X in the name.
3 – UK Economy custom book (a special book made for the course) (yes, we really do that) (it’s got proper words and everything)
4 – An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning by Peter J Eccles (the essential university mathematics textbook)
5 – The Whetton MMU pack (another special pack made up for a management course, this time comprising Developing Management Skills and Organisational Behaviour)
So if you do management, economics, maths, footie or swirl around a stage with gladioli, October was for you.
