And to follow up on Leyton Orient, home to some crowd called Man City on Saturday in the FA Cup, live on the Beeb.

Back to books, if anyone is interested in a good social history then Beyond the Wall, East Germany 1949-1990 by Katja Hoyer is an interesting read. it is, as the name suggests, a history of East Germany until the fall of the wall.

It does need a follow up to see how society and attitudes has changed since unification.

Midway through but it is good.

I have no memory of ever seeing One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest but picked up the book recently. Really enjoyed it and whoever cast Nicholson in that part was just inspired.

I read Challenger recently. A lot more to the story than I had previously thought. Worth a read for anyone interested in such things . .

I’m reading Fahrenheit 451, or rereading it as I read it first as a teenager but probably didn’t fully understand it. It’s remarkably prescient considering it was written more than 70 years ago.
