Thanks for the mention of Richard Cole's book, Alex. I planned on reading one of his stories, so it was nice to have a reminder!

"Wild Swans"..... Jung Chang
I still felt l was very up to date reading this until l realised this was published in 1991..😱.

Only 100 pages in but it's already riveting, difficult to put down.

Well, as Mr. Ron Mael has just thrown down the gauntlet by posting the news that he has finally completed reading James Joyce "Ulysses" after several attempts l may well have to start that on Monday...... Has anybody read it???

I tried Ulysses at school...wasn't impressed, didn't get as far as Ron did, so I gave up and never returned...I don't think I can be tempted to give it another go...maybe Ron will summarise it in a song and save me the effort.

I think doing Ulysses at school is really ambitious, l'm impressed but maybe it was too soon..... I feel the need of a challenge so when l finish reading it l'll report back (that should be in about 10 years or so!)
Interested to hear about the Ardal O'Hanlon book though.....
