Margaret Thatcher - The Iron lady

Genre: Biography
Writer: John Campbell

The second part of John Campbell's biography is definitely more interesting than the first part. And yeah, I found the protogonist's character more lively here than in the first part.
As expected, the Falkland's war made for an interesting read...probably my favourite part in the book.Her 11 year old reign as the Prime Minister makes a real good read and it is stacked with so many dates and numbers that it becomes almost impossible for me to remember all of them. 

The book, a huge volume is worth its weight, but for people who can handle biographies ;)


p.s. I can't help but remember an old article comparing Tony Blair to Thatcher....well after reading the book I think the article made sense







 

The Clicking of Cuthbert

Writer: P G Wodehouse
Genre: Fiction / Humour


A quick read before I start the Thatcher biography volume 2.

The book is a collection of ten short golf stories narrated by the oldest member. Each story is centered around golf, but don't let that deter you. You need not know the nuances of the game to understand the book.  All you need is some spare time to absorb the sweet stories.

A lovely book but I prefer his Jeeves stories more ;)
