it is the second part yesI'm reading Dreams from my father too! And I'm finding it fascinating... Because of the context and who the author has actually become of course
But also in its own right. I'm just taking it slow as I want to enjoy it fully and it is very dense!Is the Audacity of Hope really like a second part though? I saw it more as a political book (whereas the first was written long before President Obama *sounds soo good to say!* entered politics). But maybe I should look into it after reading this?

I've started an autobiography that's in 2 parts that's written by Barack Obama

"audacity of hope"
(thoughts of reclaiming the american dream)

I am back into Pop Music autobiographys
Just read Neil Diamonds which was written by someone else and it is really **** just a discography.
Next up is Status Quo by Status Quo so should be better.
Last year I read the Kenneth Willams Diaries and The Elton John one. Elton John was a spoilt brat and Williams and excentric all very enjoyable.
I have a signed copy of Barbara Windsors autobiography as I was her late fathers carer when he lived in Lowestoft.
She was normal and I could write a book alone with what she told me about the carry on days.
I read many books on elton and it's true he did have tantrums! he even videoed them and they were on tv a while back "Tantrums and tiraras" that he got his partner david furnish to film him on and off the stage and you see his tantrums.

I like him - read Resurrection Men about a year ago and am reading Exit Music - Don't like the mob guy as a character - Cafferty - I'm fine until mob people are in books - and he's a main character so I'm fine a bit of the time. Cops and crime solving is good. And I like Shiv and Rebus. Maybe this book will change my feelings. I was reading The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow and got most of the way through but mob tactics are so - I don't know - cold, simple and organized - so character development is set aside somewhat.
I've not read Resurrection man yet! but I will check it out!
