A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THE PURSUIT OF LAUGHTER - Diana Mosley
A collection of book reviews and diary excerpts all written by Mosley (nee Mitford) over the years.
All are entertaining and amusing with the added spice that she had generally met the subject or the author of the book she is reviewing.
She is totally disparaging of anything to do with the UK penal system, having been locked up for 3 years during WWII because she was married to the head of the UK Fascist Union, Oswald Mosley. She married Mosley at Goebbel's house prior to the war starting so people were understandably not that tolerant!
She is also the mother of Max, recently departed from the head of F1 due to the Nazi uniform fancy dress thing, but a good collection worth reading.
