Brian ‘Limmy’ Limmond

I enjoyed it a lot and went to one of the live reading and Q&A things

Cosey Fanni Tutti - great

Currently halfway through Springsteen’s - really enjoying it

There was a mention of it in the Limmy thread, but the full reaction video to the recent Radio 4 review might be of interest to people who mentioned his book here:

Read Uncanny Valley recently which was an account of the author’s life as a woman working in startups in Silicon Valley, not sure if that counts as an autobiography or not

Otherwise, it was Educated by Tara Westover, which became one of my favourite books. All about how this home schooled, homeopathed, hillbilly, prepped girl got herself educated and managed to navigate her way out of a horrible family into bigger and better things

:heart: JS 4 LYF :heart:

A re-read of The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon. I’m going through another Heian Literature phase.

The Zlatan Ibrahimovic one.

No - a load of stories that might be inspiring or amusing if the person telling them had any humility or sense of humour.
