Father’s Day presents to myself
It’s Father’s Day tomorrow and my family have flown the nest – wife as well (!), so how better to soften their absence but to indulge in a visit to the wonderful secondhand bookshop, Skoob, where for a mere £16, I bought:- Wide-Angle Lens Photography, by Joseph Paduano
- Novel About My Wife, by Emily Perkins
- The Man Who Never Returned, by Peter Quinn
- A Little History of Science, by William Bynum
Oh happy Father’s Day!

This Boy – Alan Johnson
This Boy is Alan Johnson’s wonderful memoir of his childhood in London in the 1950s and 60s, and for anyone born around 1950 the book will evoke long-forgotten memories. The book is an affectionate tribute to Alan’s mother, Lily and older sister, Linda, who are real-life heroines as they struggle to survive a life of poverty.This is a warm, funny and uplifting book. Read it! [96% of 300+ Amazon reviewers gave it the top ratings!]
The next chapter in Alan Johnson’s memoirs [Please, Mr Postman] is published in September 2014, and is eagerly awaited.

Fresh Kills – Reggie Nadelson
![n155047[1]](https://thingschange.blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/n1550471.jpg?w=93)
Reggie Nadelson’s Fresh Kills is a slow crime novel which kept me interested. Centred around the relationship between a cop and his young nephew, the ending was unexpected, though it probably shouldn’t have been.It was an OK read.

Never Mind – Edward St Aubyn
Edward St Aubyn’s Never Mind is the first of the Patrick Melrose novels. The book has one sympathetic character – Patrick Melrose as a boy. Everyone else, his family and their friends, are obnoxious, upper-class twits. For all the praise heaped upon the author and the novels, I found this book unenjoyable.
