Many books started and paused, but also many read though to the end this month. Not in any particular order.
'All in the Mind' - Alastair Campbell. Ironically picked up in Headway charity shop A crackling start with an interesting character structure. I admire his use of words.
'Warwick' - Tony Riches. A book review read - as not really my period of history reading. Easy educational read although I found out afterwards Richard Neville is quite a controversial character.
'Lily's daughter' - Diana Raymond. A recommendation, again not my kind of book but a useful read for writing purposes.
'Flying Cats and Flip Flops' - Paul Johnson. Another recommended read. Not really sure why I read this to the end.
J G Ballard's Biography and his book 'Kingdom Come'. Both worth a read. Interesting history as a writer.
Michael Morpurgo's biography with seven short stories. A good presentation and corrected my erroneous view his marriage to Penguin founder's daughter must have helped in his publishing success.
'Empire of the Clouds' A nostalgic look at post war British military aviation.
However the best read of the month, still in progress, is Angela Macmillan's anthology 'A Little Aloud' A delightful book with the selection of stories providing great entertainment and examples of excellent writing and story telling.
