Christie Malry’s Own Double-Entry – B.S. Johnson
The only good things I can say about Christie Malry’s Own Double-Entry by B.S. Johnson is that I like the cover and I like the foreword by John Lanchester.
Other than that it was a confusing, chaotic mess that I gave up at around page 50.

How to Watch TV News – Postman & Powers
How to Watch TV News by Neil Postman & Steve Powers is an OK read about how TV news is put together. At just 170 pages it’s a brief and manageable examination of the subject.I liked, and have long adhered to, three of the book’s final recommendations:
– Reduce the amount of TV news you watch
– Query whether items are important or not
– Reduce the number of opinions you feel obligated to have -

A Price To Pay – David Bermingham
A Price To Pay (The Inside Story of the NatWest Three) by David Bermingham is the astonishing tale of three British bankers caught up in the Enron scandal. It’s a devastating portrait of the American justice system and the British extradition and political system, and leaves one horrified and angry.The financial details are complex, and frankly impossible for non-bankers to comprehend, but this doesn’t hinder the following of the story. The book is very well written and my sympathies were entirely with the three bankers. This is a highly recommended read.
Interestingly I discovered that another of the NatWest Three has also written a well reviewed book (Gang of One by Gary Mulgrew) which I will certainly seek out.
