Lots of things to get through in the next month or so;
'Ban This Filth!' - The highlights of the Mary Whitehouse archive at the University of Essex, sounds bizarre, fascinating and interesting all at the same time.
'Seasons in the Sun' - Dominic Sandbrook. A bit of a Jekyll and Hyde character is Sandbrook. He's a genial talking head on BBC4, a competent enough social historian in book form and a bile-spewing right-wing Jeremiah in 'what if' pieces for the Daily Mail. I liked the previous installment of the series and if he has managed to compartmentalise his personas, this could be great.
'Russia' - Martin Sixsmith. I heard some of the Radio 4 version, so look forward to being informed and entertained while learning more about Russian history.
I've been rummaging through the virtual bargain bin on Amazon as well, so;
'Winter in Madrid' - CJ Samson. Post Spanish Civil War intrigue from the man better known for his Tudor 'Shardlake' mysteries.
'The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared' - Jonas Jonasson. This got very mixed reviews from raved about to reviled, so worth a punt.
