Read So Much Things to Say: The Oral History of Bob Marley – Roger Steffens 📚★★★☆☆
Kind: Reads
reading a book, magazine, newspaper, other physical document, or online post
Read Trick by Domenico Starnone, trans. Jhumpa Lahiri. Good fun. I think I need to read The Jolly Corner and then re-read the appendix to fully ‘get” this. 📚 ★★★★☆
Read They Were Sisters by Dorothy Whipple
Published in 1944 a story of three middle class sisters their lives, marriages and children. I doubt it would get past a publisher today, but I loved this. ★★★★★ 📚
Read: Dirt Music by Tim Winton ★★★★☆
I’ve started this one a few times, but finally go the groove after hearing Tim Winton on a podcast. Enjoyed it. Quite preposterous ending. 📚
Read:The Galton Case by Ross Macdonald ★★★☆☆
I’m occasionally re-reading Ross Macdonald after a 40 odd year break. Effective, entertaining, Chandler style detective. 📚
Read The International by Glenn Patterson ★★★★✩ Enjoyable dive into a Belfast pub on the eve of the troubles.
The Circle by Dave Eggers 📚 ★★★☆☆ A quick read.
The Circle by Dave Eggers 📚 ★★★☆☆ A quick read.
Read NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently by Steve Silberman
I was, for some reason expecting more about ‘long sought solutions to the autism puzzle’ from the blurb. This was more of a history lesson. Easy to read in a Sunday supplement sort of way.
The last couple of chapters were the most rewarding in helping to think about autism a little bit smarter. 📚 ★★★★☆
📚 Read Warlight by Michael Ondaatje, enjoyable, opaque and wandering story told in fragments.
Read Ties by Domenico Starnone, translated by Jhumpa Lahiri 📚
Very enjoyable, funny, several view points & a nice twist. If I had read the preface before I started I would not have bought, it was referring to a more intellectual book altogether!
