I met Neil Armstrong some years ago. he was on a world tour talking about his life changing mission. he talked about Buzz Aldrin privately and not in the best of terms, you would think that they would have had a strong bond.

After reading the book, I can understand how that could be the case. We're all different.. even courageous astronauts.

Picked up two new biographies today, of two extremely divergent personalities.
An unauthorized biography.. Mick Jagger, and Ho Chi Minh, a Political Biography. Been leafing through both, and they're both interesting.. Tonight I'll decide on where to start...

The Race for The Bomb...

The Biography of General Leslie Groves, the military man in charge of the Manhattan Project. It was a far different time, and I will not touch on my feelings about dropping atomic weapons on civilian targets.. I'll leave that for minds greater than my own..
A long book, and at times, pretty dry reading. But, I'll get through it.

‘Lessons’ by Ian McEwan. As Graham Lord, the late Literary Editor of the Sunday Express and a school colleague of mine, once described many novels that won the Booker Prize, I find this book, ‘precious, pretentious and unreadable’. An overstatement perhaps, but the book does disappoint me.
