The Whole Woman – Germaine Greer
3 out 5 – An Interesting but flawed book. Well this is a hard book to review. I got it because I saw a program about Greer and it’s imminent release. Since I have been chatting with a feminist friend I thought I would see what I guessed was a feminist "leader" had to say. […]
Guide to Transsexualism, Transgenderism and Gender Dysphoria By A.Purnell
This was a good basic guide to transexualily and the things a transexual might face. It is written by a Medic so it did not really give me the understanding I was looking for as a brother of a transexual. I have just read Read My Lips By Riki Anne Wilchins (also reviewed) and that […]
Uriah Heep – March 10th 1999 – Norwich Waterfront
Read My Lips By Riki Anne Wilchins
I got this book because my brother has recently broken down the walls he built up around himself to find he is really a she. I had in the past read Julia Grant’s "Just Julia" out of casual interest and lending her this book in fact helped her identify herself. However I was after more […]
The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame By Victor Hugo
This one took me to two attempts two read as my mental abilities were reduced by ill health and this at times can be a rather long winded book. The book is actually broken into 11 books and I gave up after the first book last time. This time I was determined to get to […]
Countdown To The Millennium By Rodney Matthews
This is a book of Artwork by Rodney Matthews. I bought it because of my interest in the Pictures he painted for Praying Mantis but this is a very nice book and was a great pleasure to look at and read. It contains a round up of nearly all the record covers Matthews has ever […]
Roy Wood – March 9th 1999 – Norwich Theatre Royal
Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carol
What utter rubbish. Why is this book so popular? It is nonsense after nonsense if this entertains children it shows how out of touch I am with them. A complete waste of reading time. Thank goodness it is short. I had started reading it to Zoe and Abbie but they seemed bored by the idea. […]
Rick Wakeman Half Century Tour 1999
Norwich and Bury St Edmunds Cathedrals – 10-11 June 99 I took in two nights of this tour and I am glad I did as my health the first night left me feeling rather unsure of the night. Taking in the 2nd night (and not have my children visit prior to the concert!) meant I […]
The Picture Of Dorian Gray By Oscar Wilde
This is a book I have heard as a Talking Classic and seen in an old B&W film. It struck me as being very much written in the style of a play with lots and lots of dialogue. I was interested to see that when Wilde described the scene at the beginning in the Artists […]
