Finished Reading: I Wanna Be Yours by John Cooper Clarke ⭑⭑⭑⭑✩
Funny and unsentimental memoir from Clarke but the first half on his rise to fame (or infamy) are so much better than the latter sections.

Finished Reading: Infinite Tuesday by Michael Nesmith ✭✭✭✭✩
A re-read. Everyone knows about The Monkees and how his mother invented liquid paper. This memoir also reveals how he played a big role at the start of several major technical and cultural innovations from the music video to virtual online worlds. Fascinating stuff.
“Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He’d been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me.”

Essays In Idleness
It is a most wonderful comfort to sit alone beneath a lamp, book spread before you, and commune with someone from the past whom you have never met.
Part of my small collection of vintage Ronald Searle cartoon books.
Finished reading: Feet Of Clay by Terry Pratchett ★★★★1/2 Another great City Watch book and another plot to remove Lord Vetinari but with Golems. I loved the developing friendship between Angua and Cheery/Cheri Littlebottom and the introduction of Dorfl the free-thinking Golem.
