104:33 The World According to Clarkson, vol 2 by Jeremy Clarkson

Ok, if you don't know who Jeremy Clarkson is don't pick up this book. He's offensive and generally an a**hole and makes no apologies for this. He tells you exactly what he's thinking which is never going to be politically correct. But for all that, he's funny. You may not agree with him but he has a way of saying the most outrageous crap and making you laugh, so long as you aren't taking yourself too seriously. He doesn't take himself or much of anything other than fast sportscars seriously. This book is a collection of his Sunday columns that he writes for one of the British papers. Each one is short and a quick read full of Clarkson's "wit". I learned about Clarkson when Mark got hooked on Top Gear (a British carshow) where Clarkson is one of the presenters. It makes it interesting reading his book because I can totally hear every word spoken in his voice. Is this stunning reading? Nope, not even close. But it's Clarkson and what you see is exactly what you get.
