This is an example of books I bought because I thought I SHOULD read them, rather than actually wanting too.
Just like it took me 3 years to get around to reading 'Crime And Punishment', it'll probably take me another 3 to read this bad boy.

One Day These Legs Won't Dance
I can't find a picture of this, so I may have to do the work myself and bust out a camera later.
This reminds me of going to see a friend of a friend's band play and thoroughly enjoying the band after them. That's not a slight on them at all, but I liked 'My Visor' better.
[P.S. I busted out the camera...]

Reign Of Fire
Ah, a reminder of the hardest decision ever made and my own mighty powers of persuasion.
Picture the scene: a cinema trip, people deciding to see 'The Guru' because there's nothing good. "NO!", I cry, "It'll be total cack!"
My alternative, 'Reign of Fire'...
Total cack too, and as a result I may never be allowed to influence movie choices again. But it was worth it to avoid 'The Guru'. But only just...

Brian Lara International Cricket 2007
This is a reminder of how stubborn I can be.
I've been playing cricket computer games for years, and they're always crap. For some reason, computer game manufacturers can't make a even half reasonable cricket game.
But I keep playing them in hope. At least this is marginally better than EA Sport's pathetic attempts.

Rust In Peace
This album contains the first song that I ever listened too and enjoyed - 'Take No Prisoners'.
I probably just liked it because it had a swearword in it.
This reminds me of a school trip to the Isle of Wight back in the day, where I first heard that song and also first pioneered jam and sugar on toast. I was disgusting...

Italia '90 World Cup Sticker Book
Everything seems to be Italian for me recently. Italian songs in my sleep, trying to learn the language, playing Italian scrabble and AS Roma have just lost to Arsenal.
This sticker book actually reminds me of a week about 18 years after I collected the stickers for it.
A week in which a friend put me up on his couch and we spent the majority of the time talking football. Also drinking beer on his rooftop admiring the Manhattan skyline, but still talking football.

Take A Break
Appropriate title.
I got dangerously hooked on this album for a while. It reminds me of walking in New York.
Whether it's through ice pellets in Queens, a sudden downpour in Chelsea, walking to Brooklyn after a storm has knocked out the Metro or the more run of the mill walking up or down the Manhattan avenues in blazing sunshine, this album just works.

Medal Of Honor: Rising Sun
Many hours whittled away playing this bad boy. The missions kinda sucked, but the multiplayer is gold.
This reminds me of being super lazy at uni. Especially the day I was awoken at 2pm by our housing agent dude showing 3 nursing students around our flat.
My first lecture that day had been at 10am, and I think that was the same day I was 'sick' to avoid a presentation on Vietnam...

Democracy In America
This reminds me of the good deed of going to Barnes & Noble to acquire the autograph of Jonathan Carroll.
I was uber early as I didn't want to miss it, and so ended up reading this for half an hour. Seemed interesting, so I bought it too.
The autograph came with free advice - don't lose your accent. I won't JC, I won't.

The Essential Johnny Cash
I never actually owned this, but have it on an MP3 player.
This reminds me of a bizarre journey home in New York, during which I helped a Turkish tourist find her way to the South Street Sea Port and listening to Johnny Cash on the Metro got me accused of being boring by drunken "Italian"-American youths.
But the best bit of the journey was in McDonald's when two young dudes, stereotypically Wall Street, ordered about thirty meals, specifying chicken, burgers, different drinks, the list went on and on. And then, just as they were about to pay, said "Oh, and two apple pies". Bloody hilarious.

S&M
This actually reminds me of a joke I heard before this album even came out. A joke I liked far too much:
"What's green and spongy? A green sponge."
Looking at it, I'm not even sure it qualifies as a joke. The guy who told it to me also copied this CD onto a tape for me back in the day, hence the link.

Independence Day
This reminds me of the Xmas I got a VCR as a present. ID4 was the first thing played on it.
Best bit from this movie is when pilots are being looked for and Randy Quaid is talking about how he was abducted by aliens. Everyone reacts like this is completely impossible, nay ridiculous. But they are preparing to fight an alien invasion fleet! Hilarious. Also any bit with Julius Levinson.
