At school the only book I was ‘forced’ to read was ‘Kes’ after that never read much at all until…
I met a girl who was an avid reader…first gift she ever gave me…
Now…I’m from Washington, Tyne & Wear and in those days Holden Caulfield was as far removed from me as President Carter. No idea who he was. What he represented. I just didn’t ‘get it’. But I persevered with it…
Then I got into Ian McEwan..,
Here was something I could understand a little bit better. Just the plot and emotion without the Americanisation.
So…here began my reading journey..,
My daughter has started sending me books…we try to out read each other 😂😂😂
Amongst the books she had sent, she sent me this…it has a certain vernacular and rhythm much like ‘A Clockwork Orange’ – you have to keep at it…
Just watched ‘A Rebel In The Rye’ it was ok…a lot of the stuff I already knew…
