I began reading this book yesterday. His name was coimg up in many books and magazine articles, so, it's time to learn about him.
Written by my sister-in-law's father, who is quite a character.
The story concerns a rich family 'buying' a companion for their son, set in 1960's Dublin.
He claims the idea for the book is based on a similar offer being made for him!

You’d expect a book written about a Dictionary to be dry, and ‘fact packed’... but, No!
It’s hilarious (in retrospect), and the characters are So well drawn!

I suggest a movie called "Ball of Fire" Here is the synopsis and cast:
A group of professors working on a new encyclopedia encounter a mouthy nightclub singer who is wanted by the police to help bring down her mob boss lover.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Waiting on Clockwork Orange from the library. I've actually never read it.
I bought this book a couple years ago when I was designing our big first floor gut-renovation (living room, dining room, front foyer, and inner foyer/reception room, and parts of the second floor, too).
I am finally getting around to reading it!

Love Steve Rzasa. I have read almost all of his books.
Here is how this one starts:
"I was eating pepperoni pizza when a monster crashed through my apartment wall.
Pepperoni's one of mankin's greatest achievements, right up there with nuclear power and the moon landing. You give me a stick of it, plus a bottle of water and drop me in the Sierra Madres, I'd walk walk out whistling a cheesy tune from a terrible commercial.
But back to the monster.
It cracked the drywall and splintered studs. A white cloud billowed across the room, scratching at my eyes and making miss one of the best parts of the giant robot movie on Netflix. Ripped apart my favorite poster, the Cowboy Bebop leftover from college."
“The Hidden life of Trees”, by Peter Wohlleben. Amazing writing about how trees communicate, fight, make friends, really eye opening stuff.
