I have an eclectic collection of cricket related books, apart from Dickie Birds auto biography which I have but found it very poor and gave up on it less than half way in. I enjoy reading cricketing books of most kinds, far superior to anything football has produced with one or two notable exceptions and they usually have ghosts writers.
Even light hearted or humorous cricket books are always a good read, 'Slipless in Settle' and' Wet wickets and Dusty balls' are two I particularly enjoyed.
The Nawab of Pataudi wasn't half bad either.
