They Don’t Teach This - Eniola Aluko

Really good read imho. How Mark Sampson was ever allowed anywhere near the England women’s team, his weird side-to-side rapid eye movements in the first seconds of this interview. Really creepy.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window And Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson.

70 odd pages in, it's all a bit Richard Osman, but rather darker and occasionally laugh out loud.

Future Days by David Stubbs. It's an account of German bands of the 70s and 80s - the sort of groups that only I, Tony Towner's Fridge and HWT listened to.

Makes me want to dig out my old Tangerine Dream albums ...

Caging Skies by Christine Leunens.

It's the book that inspired the film JoJo Rabbit. It's interesting, not really read much about what it was like for a family (Austrian) during the rise of the Third Reich and how indoctrinated the kids were. Lots of parallels with Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin.

About halfway through and struggling with it simply because the story is becoming a bit wtf (won't post spoilers). Really trying to push through, as I want to find out what happened in the end.

 

[Don Quixote]

No Name - Wilkie Collins

 

[South Oz Seagull]

I'm reviewing a friend's book which attempts to explain what's outside the known universe (seriously).

Freezing Order by Bill Browder. The true and terrifying story of how the Magnitsky Act came about, and how the author enraged Putin and his criminal cronies by following the money
