    Are you old enough to remember Wham!'s heyday?

    Yep I am, (old enough) having turned 50 this year. Right from the start ! Which is what I enjoyed about reading Andrew's book, it just brought up so much nostalgia from a time when I was a shoulder length blonde haired, gold gypsy ear ring wearing, high school student. Feck, I loved the 80's when I was growing up as a teen, loved every minute of it !

    What's next on your list - Das Kapital? I didn't realise Wealth of Nations was so boring - have wanted to read it, but never got round to it. The original is available for free

    The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and other stories. Robert Louis Stevenson.

    The headline story was interesting but, to be honest, I was underwhelmed by the rest of the collection (never mind having to grapple with 19th century Scottish).
