Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Nick Hornby's Favorite Books

Just when you thought that your reading agenda was busy enough already, along comes LOB favorite Nick Hornby with his top 40 reads, drafted as part of a promotion for Waterstone's bookstores. Nick's list includes some classics (David Copperfield), some contemporary favorites (Empire Falls), and of course books on music (Sweet Soul Music) and footie (Brilliant Orange). As with any list, though, there are surprises and suggestions that may go straight onto your wish list or bedside table. Cut and paste the link below for Nick's discussion of list from the Times:
