Books

Lots of lovely books have come my way, what with a birthday and a Christmas and a friend who passes on books on music that he has read.

• I Wanna Be Yours - John Cooper Clarke. Autobiography that was way better than I thought it might be, from my favourite poet.
• Everything We Do is Music - Elizabeth Alker. A great overview of the links between 20th Century modern classical and popular music. The writer is a Radio 3 DJ. Got me listening to Stockhausen amongst others.
• Whatever Will be, Will be - Felix White. Slightly disappointing tale of someone going to all the rounds of the FA Cup in 2024/5.
• The Girl on the 88 Bus - Freya Sampson. Written by the wife of one of Rowan's work colleagues, and a very successful writer as well. An uplifting tale of London life. Enjoyed it a lot.
