I'd say that was a prolific output myself. I'll spread the word to my family and see if the tight sods will surprise me with a gift or two for Christmas ! Hope all's well with you & yours. Good to hear from you again.
Hi TC Perfect stocking fillers.. ...though I think I'd prefer what is attached to the leg... I am well thanks, plodding along, making ends meet etc, etc...Hoping things are okay for you and yours in that Canada.. My uncle in Niagara-on-the-Lake told me they are preparing for an early winter. Ouuchhh...
Thank you. I just ordered a copy. I have a friend (http://www.combatfaith.com/AllenClarkBio.html) who also happens to be an author and an avid researcher of the Kennedy assassination. He has accumulated and analyzed such a wealth of material I told him this summer he should write a book about it. On another note, One of the investors in my company is the son of one of the key players in that episode. He tells some interesting stories.
Cheers OT......I won't say too much about the story as I don't want to spoil your enjoy ..Enjoy and if you feel like doing so I'd appreciate it if you left a review on Amazon, but of course that's completely down to you. Other than the basics of the subject and what is known as common knowledge, its a very complex subject. A lot of the professional researchers have come to different conclusions..... 'The key players in that episode'... sounds intriguing. Thanks again. Regards
Anyone read anything from the Booker short list or long list? Anyone read this year's winner, Prophet Song?
Rob Delaney - A Heart That Works. Never cried so much reading a book Heartbreaking yet beautiful his love for his son shines through.
Adrian Edmondson - Berserker! Read it for his local connections and I liked the Young Ones and the Comic Strip. He went to Pocklington Boarding School and there's a lot about that including him running away to Hull to try and board a ship. He plays down his role as Vyvyan and is also reluctant to say much about Jennifer Saunders, like a lot of biographies he uses it to tell us about his other side which is not as berserk as you'd think, an average biography.
Just read 'Chums' by Simon Kuper. Bit of a polemic and Kuper might have a bit of a chip on his shoulder but so much of it is blatantly true/correct and, with hindsight, obvious. Depressing really.
Reading "American Prometheus" by Kai Bird & Martin J Sherwin, the original book of the Oppenheimer film, 591 pages of close typed text, seems a good read but may take a while.
Sure the readers amongst us received books for Christmas I am half way through Tim Marshall’s - Prisoners of Geography - superb book.
Bit of Christmas reading, The Brothers of Auschwitz by Malka Adler. Inspired by interviews with real brothers, Dov 15 and Yitzhak 17, who, along with their entire family were forced to leave their small village in the mountains of Hungary in 1944, by gun point, because they were Jewish. Six decades later, from the safety of their living rooms in Israel they break their silence. I've read many books and stories of the Holocaust but this one effected me most. An incedilble tale of survival, bravery and finally belief as the brothers were finally re united before making their way to form new lives in the new State of Israel. Also a fasinating insight ( to me anyhow) into the current troubles in that part of the World. Deeply moving and thought provoking
For Xmas I got Avenue Cars by Chris Speck. A story about an old school gangster who runs a taxi office on Chants Ave. I don’t normally read fiction but quite enjoyed it due to the local connections.
Just finished Colson Whitehead’s Harlem Shuffle Set over 5 years late 50’s early 60’s Harlem, telling the story of a son of a criminal setting up his legitimate business but his dabbles in crime too. Great read
