Roland Butter Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Finished Barry Miles' London Calling tonight. A thoroughly enjoyable read if you're interested in "counter-culture" and/or London. He's especially good on the 60s, where he was an active participant in the development of the "alternative" magazine IT. In fact, those chapters, covering hippies, communes and squats, and "happenings", are entertaining and often hilarious (although I don't think they're meant to be!). I know my good friend Kylie has a particular interest in the Beatles, and this is a book I think she'd enjoy, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm sorry for your wandering mojos, you guys! I still have mine, but if I'm not having trouble find the time to sit down and read, when I do my attention span seems to be next to nothing since I keep thinking of other things I have going on in my head! It's annoying. I'm hoping I can empty my brain this weekend and think of only the book I'm reading, at least for longer periods of time! Speaking of, here I am online and not in front of an open book! Now I've decided to start a website so I've been working on that tonight . Oops!

Kylie Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 So I noticed, Lopeanha! Thanks for adding me as a friend. I bought a few books tonight; details on my reading blog. I'm still plodding extremely slowly through The Group and Sourcery. I wish my life would quiet a bit so I could read more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Butter Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've decided to start The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbary, mainly because I'm feeling a bit Gallic this afternoon.

pickle Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I read Dark of Night - Suzanne Brockmann it wasn't terrible but it was really wromg to put it in the crime section of the library rather than the romance section, still it was entertaining.
