Reading One Flew over the cookoos nest. You can really imagine Jack Nicholson playing the lead role fighting the system in a phychriatic institution in the 60's.His main battle being with the Head Nurse.Not looking forward to the ending if the same as the film.Enjoyable read.

Bloody Brilliant Women by Cathy Newman. And it is, of course, bloody brilliant.

Just finished "Towards the Within" by Reece Willis. I would not recommend it.

Just me then that finds Miriam's book a bit shocking. It's good and interesting but offering men she encounters on the street and elsewhere 'b* j***' shocked me and her language is appalling.

No Kate1949 I didn’t like her book either -I didn’t finish it. I think she’s a bit foul mouthed in some of the programs she’s in as well.

Molly I am finding the book and her life interesting and I will finish it. However, I agree. I couldn't believe some of what I was reading.

I'm reading 'Run Rose, Run by Dolly Parton and James Patterson'.

The book isn't released yet, but asked to do a review.
