And Away...

Bob Mortimer's autobiography.

Read half of it in one day, it's great stuff. He is a natural storyteller.

If you want more Bob than I'd highly recommend the Off Menu podcast with James Acaster and Ed Gamble, the Bob Mortimer episode. As you state, a wonderful storyteller, it is an hour and a half of pure joy.
 
Re-reading Carl Hiaasen's Skink series having just read his latest release. Quality un-American, American satire.
 
Just restarted reading the Bond books;
now on Moonraker. The worst film but best book.

Did you not see Never Say Never Again?
The best Bond but the worst film.

I’ve seen them all, many times.
Never say never again isn’t actually an official Bond film. Just a remake of Thunderball.
Also, it’s nowhere near as bad as Moonraker.
 
Getting back into cycling again after a 15 year hiatus, so re-reading David Millars autobiography. An excellent read for anyone with even a passing interest in the sport, really throws a different light on the doping issue and makes you realise how black and white it really isn't.
 
Finally got my paws on John Connolly's-A Time Of Torment-one of the recommended Charlie Parker series, by someone on here- so no doubt it'll be great;)
Still trying to get through 'Landslide-The final days of trump' and also 'All Out War-The full story of how BREXIT sank Britain's Political class'
They confirm ( in my mind at least ) that both TRUMP and JOHNSTON are paranoid headcases, and should be in psychriatic institutions!!:rolleyes:

I'm sure the books are great, they wont have brenda Blethyn's awful accent in them. If only she had followed the Sean Connery approach to accents ?

I often wish actors would do that - so many bad Russians in particular, over the years.

Charlie Parker novels are superb but they do need reading in order as it is an ongoing storyline..

Thank you kind sir, I've had a request into my local library now for -6wks? now, but actually found this one by accident on 'Returns' shelf:rolleyes:
Asked the girl if any news about my 'ordering the series?..Full of apologies, but could'nt find it on the 'new-super dooper computer system'--Oh, really? Well that's weird 'cos it was you who put the request in for me:(
Give the girl her due right enough...said the series seems to be v.popular + the new system is a load of :poop: with all sorts of hassles being thrown up-needless to say, no-one from management in the building to be asked questions of- now isn't that a surprise????:whistle::whistle:
 
I am currently reading Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I think it's one of the best works, not only by him but in world literature in general. I decided to redesign our university newspaper and Mark Twain inspired me to do so.Are there any more young writers here? I wanted to exchange experiences on the subject of newspaper design. I'm just not good with graphic editors and so far I've been using the newspaper template from this site https://thegoodocs.com/freebies/newspaper-templates/. I'm interested in opinions from the outside. Is it as good as I was recommended?
