Just started Antony Burgess's The Ink Trade.Selected Journalism 161-1993..Always enjoyed his pieces in the Observer and quite a few of his many novels.
 
Finished Nell Dunn's Poor Cow last night.Remember Ken Loach's film of it with Carol White and Terence stamp back in the day.The source material is just as bad.
 
Currently reading Sixty Million Frenchman Can't be Wrong (Used to be 50 m.in Coke Porter's time :Winking: ) by Jean Benoit Nadeau and Julie Barlow.`(Two Canadians) .Not bad though a bit dated as it was written at the beginning of the century.

Read a couple of autobiographies left at our holiday cottage - Julie Walters & Jennifer Saunders. The JW one was particually secretive about her adult life, her relationships with other actors barely getting a line, Still, both entertaining enough.
 
Finished The Essex Serpent, which was alright. Started Marcus Aurelius Meditations but I'm really struggling with it, nothing is sticking and it's a bit of a chore
 
Just finishing Bruce Springsteen's autobiography 'Born To Run' - with thanks to TUIB. This is quite a revealing read in that I didn't know how he's struggled with depression from time to time. He's also revealing about his darker side too. Some quite touching family stuff in there right from the off. Interesting commentary on the east Jersey Shore days when he was starting out on his music career, how he has managed band dynamics, gone solo at times and throughout it all, there is his genuine love of the power of music with soul and what it can evoke in people. So much more to him than the stadium rock that he's often associated with.
