Finished Ben Richards

Hi All,

Confidence was an easy read. Having said that I dont mean to disparage as I shall probably keep the book. It is well worth reading. There are some lapses in the writing but there is much that is of interest.

Have started "How to Be Good" by Nick Hornby.

Jeff Torrington

Just finished Swing Hammer Swing by Jeff Torrington about the Gorbals in the sixties. It is very impressive. A very humorous narrator and some moving writing towards the end. Also a fine sense of drama and locale.

Have started the Ben Richards book and so far it is looking good - I think I am going to like it very much.
