Weekend reading

Ha, I did it. Learnt how to post a new entry that is. OK. This weekend I finished a new book from Dee about a father a son and the movies. You can see I have forgotten the title and am too damn lazy to walk to bedroom to check it. Anyway, this rather cute book will appeal to those of you who have sons approaching or in adolescence, those of you who teach boys in adolescence and those of you who may counsel parents of adolescent boys. That accounts for about half our bookclub so this book will at least get read. Son hates school (this is a true story) so father takes a big gamble and allows him to leave at the age of 16 provided that they watch three movies a week together. This, he reckons will at least add something to the boy's general education. They start with the classics and move through some more classics and through different genres and have conversations about love and girls etc. I was mildly underwhelmed but acknowledge that if one watched all these movies, it would be quite something.
I am now reading my own book, the autobiography of George Bizos which began with a fascinating account of his early life in Greece before the second world war and I am up to the inquest of Neil Aggett and am thinking of his sister Jill who married Paul and who none of you know so I'll stop this right now.

I have a Sunday nighter even though it's Monday, so this is hardly a scintillating blog entry. Sorry.

books and stuff

Hey girls, I thought it would be fun to send each other comments on the books we are reading. Reason for this is that with increasing amount of senior moments, it is better to talk about books immediately after finishing while we hopefully can recall plot etc.

Trouble is I am not reading at the moment but this will change.
