I have a Penguin Classic's version of Candide (Voltaire) that I recently dug out of storage, haven't read it for 10 years. I'll read that soon.
Congratulations you have jutsmet the ICF I enjoy reading this sort of crap, just wonder how much is fabricated
I used to go on the buswith a lot of the Vauxies lads, never saw a lot of bother, but no ****er seemed to mess with them,
I have just finished reading ‘The Sorrow Of War’ by Bao Ninh. One of the best books I’ve ever read. I’m not normally moved by reading but this got to me. It’s about a soldier who was collecting bodies after the Vietnam war and him wrestling with his conscience and reminiscing about the purpose of war. It’s not glamorised like most war books, it’s laid bare and very thought provoking.
Right now I'm halfway through Sir Patrick Stewart's autobiography. A really good read so far. Funny and sad, from real poverty with an alcoholic, abusive father in Mirfield to the Bristol Old Vic, RSC and Hollywood. After that I'm starting "Nailing It" by Rich Hall. I actually got that a couple of years ago when he was on the Fire station (brilliant show, laughed my head off) but kept back from reading for some reason I honestly can't think of until now.
About to start Ernie Bewicks book, son dropped it off over the weekend, said its a quick read but interesting. Should be a few names in there that i recognise
The Inheritors by William Goldman, for the second time, excellent read, rather a short book .He said it was his best book Also The Signature Of all Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert, for the second time, absolute cracker of a(very long ) book.
