Evening - just a quick one to say that the BCUK convention was marvellous fun on Saturday and that I picked up or was given a handful of books....
My Legendary Girlfriend - Mike Gayle
Showbusiness: the diary of a rock and roll nobody - Mark Radcliffe
Boule de Suif - Guy de Maupassant
War Minus the Shooting - Mike Marqusee
The Sportswriter - Richard Ford
The Nation's Favourite: the true adventures of radio 1 - Simon Garfield
Timequake - Kurt Vonnegut
John Arlott: a memoir - Timothy Arlott
Opening Up - Mike Atherton
Powder - Kevin Sampson
 
I think that's fewer than I went with, so that has to count as a result.
 
Also had a nice lunch with my ma and pa and my 2 brothers and their respective financees.
 
OOooooh.  And the golf was excellent and had a worthy winner - Todd Hamilton, I salute you.  Talk about calm under pressure.  No one can say you didn't deserve it.

    Hey Toni!

    You're going to love Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut. Amazed you haven't already read it. Shunt it up the pile dear, I would.

    Off back to the pit of vipers and sordidry that is the chit chat forum.
