My wife is reading Just Kids at the moment as well.

I just finished Just Kids. Really good.
Black Monk Time has been good too.
Gives a great description of what it was like to be playing in Germany at that time. Very much like what was in ATYD.
He says that guys from english bands would come and stare at them.

i heard a radio interview with patti about the book , and read a little thing in rolling stone , it sounds like a great read ..

Reading my monthly dose of true murder stories, jeez, there aint half been some crazy bastards. This months addition has the plainfield butcher, Katherine the lady who cooked and skinned her lover, and soho's italian mob murder.

On the front page it say "hertfordshire horror", it turns out this isnt about the break up of mott the hoople.

quite right - that would have been Herefordshire horror

An Open Heart-Practicing Compassion In Everyday Life- The Dalai Lama Since 9/11/01 I have been a very angry person. I read at least one book like this a month to try and keep the anger that nearly ruined my life in check. I think it is finally starting to work .

Wilbur Smith - Goldmine one of a cheapo set of two in ones I got a few weeks ago.

Alternating between Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, Honeymoon in Tehran, and, just to irritate Hooplah, a Mills & Boon romance.

More bemused than anything else, why would anyone with a brain cell read such dross?

Because everyone should have a bit of contradiction in their lives. Sort of like going to an opera one night and a wrestling match on another. And yes, I've done that too.

Did you win?

Anyway Carolyn, ignore Hooplah. The grumpy get must have read some of them or else he wouldn't know it's dross. You read what you want - if it gets too raunchy for you, lie back and think of England.
