A New Home for Football Writing: the Blizzard is a new quarterly publication for journalists and authors to write the football stories that matter to them. Issue Zero is available for free pay-what-you-like.

Well, I posted them from the bathroom, so there's a nice symmetry there.
*Clarification : Not your bathroom.

Edition Zero has an interview and an article in it by Philippe Auclair, about whom I have a dirty French man-crush, so it was worth a purchase for me and then the long Football Manager story was a total added bonus.
The story isn't quite up to Pro Vercelli standards, but that's a high bar.
For those on the fence it's 188 pages long and you can grab it for 1p, which is about 496 American Dollars, maybe*. If you like it and feel cheap later you can always buy the issue again for whatever you feel it's worth. Minus your original penny.
* not really

until the next time I go to the bathroom as I sent them to my Kindle
I know what a person once upon a time could do with reading material in the bathroom when there was no TP. But what is current alternative?

Ironically, reading material could also have been used as kindling, but I have a Kindle myself, so I'm not coming down on that side of the argument.
Thanks for all the links, Bismarck.

Just so's you know, I'm sure both of your posts are fantastic, but I can't comment until the next time I go to the bathroom as I sent them to my Kindle.
