It seems you can't keep this guy out of the news.
Personally, anyone that beats Roy Keane is tops in my book! :D

Moore wins Book Of The Year

A satirical anti-war attack on President George Bush and the US political machine was the surprise winner of the top prize at the British Book Awards.

Stupid White Men, by author and filmmaker Michael Moore, took the Book of the Year award.

Moore's book beat Roy Keane's bestselling autobiography, one of the fancied favourites, as well as Booker winner, Life of Pi, and Ian McEwan's Atonement.

Moore's triumph was boosted by a strong telephone vote from the public, who were invited to participate in the awards for the first time this year.

Until now only those in the publishing industry have been able to vote.

"It looks like a very strong anti-war vote both from insiders in the book business and the public," said Awards organiser Merric Davidson.

"The Keane book got a lot of public votes from the Manchester area, but Moore's book proved nationally very popular."

Stupid White Men was shelved by publishers in the US at first. They only changed their minds after a protest by US librarians.

Well, it would have to be very good indeed to beat Atonement and Life of Pi!! Either that or there's another reason why it won. Anyway, worth checking out then.

i have read it and it is a pretty good book, but then i'm a bit of a michael moore fan, so i might be biased [img]smile.gif[/img]
