For the love of my mother - J.P.Rodgers

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I have just read 'No! I Don't Want to Join a Bookclub' by Virgina Ironside. Doyenne of Fleet Street and Agony Aunt extraordinaire.

A diary of growing old disgracefully.

Which leads me into a plug for the Civic Arts Centre, Oswaldtwistle.

Virginia will be performing her one woman show .. The Virginia Monologues .... on Sunday, 13th March at 7.30 p.m. Directed by Nigel Planer.

If you are over 60 (any age actually), this outlook on a woman ageing is not to be missed .. extremely perseptive and hilarious:

"

When an agony aunt reaches sixty,
she can lie like a trooper, jump off a
bridge – or take to the stage.
Virginia Ironside explains that
unlimited free drugs, fun funerals,
grandchildren and sex – or, even
better, no sex – make the sixties the
best – and funniest - time of your life…"

I'm reading The Burning Wire by Jeffrey Deaver

Halfheads by Stuart mcbride

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Just finished 'Host' by Peter James. A real techno-chiller with so many twists and turns it's hard to work out who the real villain is. Hard to put down once you get into it. One of Jame's best - and I've read most of them now, though his earlier ones are hard to come by or very expensive, even on Amazon.

Also recommend Tess Gerritson to anyone seeking a good read.

Tales from a midwife (true stories from the East end in 1950's)
By Jennifer Worth

ooo i bet thats a good book Mitzy

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Quite interesting flashy

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Soul On The Street by William Roache.

What I was hoping would be an interesting account of working on Coronation Street by the longest serving actor is actually a 270 page diatribe on spiritualism and wears thin very quickly.

Avoid.
