As far as reading goes I tend to use my commute each day for reading or watching IPlayer etc.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-70936018515043680162018-12-08T21:22:00.052+00:002018-12-08T21:22:00.052+00:00I have The Last Valley but (like Max Hastings) I m...I have The Last Valley but (like Max Hastings) I may well have to wait for the Audible book - I just don't get time to read books these days<br /><br />But I still manage to tell my kids off for not reading books either - "kettle calling pot" ...<br /><br />The Street With No Joy is on my "must read" list!Geordie an Exiled FoGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002743056274635657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-73660910540860698802018-11-30T19:18:54.460+00:002018-11-30T19:18:54.460+00:00Hi J J,

Seriously though, it is a period I know zilch about and so will look forward to rectifying this.<br /><br />Interestingly enough the Max Hastings title runs from 1945 to 1975 so will tie the two together.<br /><br />I had looked a 10mm in the past so that is always an option.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-36541411574252773402018-11-30T17:06:52.635+00:002018-11-30T17:06:52.635+00:00Good books indeed!
