I wrapped up "Wishful Drinking" by Carrie Fisher on Monday night. It was a gift, and I'm not sure why it was given to me as I can't check any of the following boxes:
_ Star Wars fan
_ Hollywood fan
_ Alcoholic
_ Drug Addict
_ Diagnosed Bi-PolarThat said, it made me laugh out loud quite a few times, so it was worth the couple of hundred pages.

the alchemy of stone. steampunk sci-fi which could be considered a bit frivolous, but i forgive it for being as evocative literately as dark city is visually. not a great film but memorable, and same goes for the book.

Some graphic novels. I should read or listen to a real novel. Have a lot of audio books to get through.

" He dissects the hypocrisies of the music business with the subtlety of a butcher's dog and heaps scorn on his "rinkidink", "light entertainment" contemporaries. Blur are "habitual bandwagon jumpers"; Oasis "mindless northern bluff'; the Verve "shmucks" with "simpleton lyrics". It's hard to take this too seriously and, initially, the schoolboy score-settling is rather enjoyable. Haines is a malevolent Tiny Tim tossing stink bombs into Britpop's shiny toy shop. At one point, he takes aim for real. Hours after performing at a Swedish festival alongside the "schmucks" and the "northern bluff", he fires on them from his hotel balcony with a flare gun as they dance, boorish and drunk, around a fountain, singing choruses of "two world wars and one World Cup".
