BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Please feel free to borrow the books from the church or, if you would like to keep one, please make a donation. Donated books and payment to be passed to Debra Thatcher.

 

A mixed bag of books for April – placed on the small table so that they are easy to locate.

First, a biography of cricket umpire, Dickie Bird. It is the updated edition and sold well on publication. As befits this gentle man his story is very gently told. I found it of interest although not the hugest fan of cricket.

Secondly, a copy of the script of the 2009 play “Enron”, based on the huge financial scandal. Some of the language in the script will be seen as challenging to some.

Lastly this month, “Porterhouse Blue” by Tom Sharpe, which was dramatised some years ago with David Jason playing the porter at the college. This was a re-read for me and, although I found it amusing a word of warning – it reflects the language and thoughts of the time it was written.

Postcards also available to purchase in the church.
