The Shadow of the Mine - Huw Beynon and Ray Hudson.

Very interesting read. I read Beynon's Working for Ford when I was young and was seriously impressed. This is another fascinating study - this time on the decline of the coal industry and the end of industrial Britain.

(re-reading) Monstrous Regiment - Pratchett

I really ought to re-read the Disc World stories in order... but instead, I just pick one off the shelf at random... 😀

I am reading the lyrics from Bachman Turner Overdrive...

 You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
 And I'll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out
 If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid, and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
 And we be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
 Mercy
Whoo
All right
 Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoo
 They get up every morning from their alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
 And I be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, take care
 Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business and working overtime, whoo
 Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business

Hydden World by William Horwood. I've been reading this for a few days, I'm finding it hard going. I hope it cheers up soon. I'm pretty sure I tried reading it many years ago - probably when it first came out... I obviously failed then and I'm not sure I'll be doing any better this time. So far, I feel slightly uncharitable about this book but it might improve, of course.
