| Nothing left Unsaid |
Janey Godley |
 |
A fine novel by the (sadly now late) Comedian. Wonderful language.
Recommended. |
| Making it So |
Patrick Stewart |
|
Poorly written, glad I got it for £1, otherwise I would have felt cheeted. |
| The Lie of the Land: Who really cares for the Countryside. |
Guy Shrubsole |
|
Only read the sample, but this book is an indictment of the situation in the UK where so-called landowners (in the upper house, non-elected) are "advising" on land policies. Their interest lies not in really looking after the countryside, but in furthering their agenda.
Recommended. |
| Another England |
Caroline Lukas |
|
Only read the sample, but Caroline, as the first Green MP writes of her time in Westminster. It's a damming reveal of the lack of action on Climate Change and the wasteland that the UK political has become. Difficult to see any change coming anythime soon.
Recommended. |
| The Truths we Hold |
Kamala Harris |
|
Factual, but not really interesting. Vanilla writing. |
| The Reactionary Mind |
Corey Robin |
|
Only read the sample, but it seems to me this author has found a fairly comprehensie list of the major differences (problems) between left and right minds. There is a short video.
Recommended. |
| The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) |
Stephanie Kelton |
|
This is, apparently, the textbook on MMT. Interesting and and rich in detail. |
| Autocracy Inc.
|
Anne Applebaum |
|
Just read the sample, but watched several videos. Most disturbing. The West is walking into a huge problem - asleep! |
|
The Master Builder |
Henrik Ibsen |
|
Saw a recommendation for this play somewhere - din't thinkmuch of it. |
| Make is So! |
Patrick Steward |
|
Autobiography, glad I got this for only £1 because it isn't very good. |
| The Admirable Mr. Crighton |
J. M. Barrie |
|
A very play ( also a black and white film) to highlight the class divide in early 20th century UK. It has not aged at all well. |
| Dear Me (Arrow Autobiography) |
Peter Ustinov |
|
An erudite man who wrote really well. Lots of words about the people he met. His background is ver rich. Enjoyable. |
| The Salt Path |
Raynor Winn |
|
A prize-winning book based on the real-life of a couple of "special" people. |
| Last Words |
George Carlin |
|
Autobiography which goes through his childhood and progress of his entertaining years. A bit to much about the aspects his career rather than the characters he met. |
| The Trading Game |
Gary Stephenson |
|
Another one of these books on how "City" traders misbehave, both financially and socially. Why we as a society have "developed" into one where this so-called job is even a thing is beyond me. Not just capitalism gone rogue... |
