Chadonraz Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 "Sycamore Row" by John Grisham. The first book by him I've read, and I will be reading more of his books in the future because this one is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zixi Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 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.

Pagafyr Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 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 Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Randy Bachman Takin' Care Of Business lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zixi Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
