I will be reading Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister The Official Companion to the BBC Series by Wainwright, Sally.

I guess I didn't realize it was coming from across the pond when I ordered it.

It F I N A L L Y arrived and it was wonderful.......

The books goes into more details about the various affairs she carried on and some shall we say "one night stands" which she had more than her fair share of.. yup Anne got around! The book explains how the diaries were almost NOT published and who found them. If you're enjoying the series, I think you'll enjoy this companion piece.

With yesterday being the 75 anniversary of D Day, I thought to read something from the history section and I chose 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' author Heather Morris. Based on one man's account from the time - being a Slovakian Jew and forcibly taken to concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Although it was a very hard book to read - it is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions. Not for the faint of heart, but highly recommended. Comparable intensity to the 'Pianist'

Mr Know It All

I've always been a fan of Waters the man but Waters the movie director and his movies not so much!

This book is typical John Waters the man's outlook on life, love, death, and even some very interesting advice for those "would be movie makers"! Who knew securing the music used in movie soundtracks was so freaking

The Shakespeare Requirement (2018) by Julie Schumacher ....

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune keep hitting beleaguered English professor Jason Fitger right between the eyes in this hilarious and eagerly awaited sequel to the cult classic of anhedonic academe, the Thurber Prize-winning Dear Committee Members.

Now is the fall of his discontent, as Jason Fitger, newly appointed chair of the English Department of Payne University, takes arms against a sea of troubles, personal and institutional. The fearsome department secretary Fran clearly runs the show (when not taking in rescue parrots and dogs) and holds plenty of secrets she's not sharing. The lavishly funded Econ Department keeps siphoning off English's meager resources and has taken aim at its remaining office space. And Fitger's attempt to get a mossbacked and antediluvian Shakespeare scholar to retire backfires spectacularly when the press concludes that the Bard is being kicked to the curricular curb.

Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984-1988 by Jane Mayer and Doyle McManus.

Several weeks ago, Rachel Maddow made mention of this book, when she made a correlation between Attorney General Edwin Meese (who Trump had just awarded some award to that day) and Attorney General Barr, so needless to say my curiosity was piqued! I haven't read much, but so far it's been very informative.

Sidebar: Jane Meyer is also a co-author of the book Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas which is very interesting reading.
