An account of how he got into running and then went to extremes. An interesting read.

This was a second hand buy and I've not read part one. They give a timeline in the back and this takes place at a different time to the TV show. That explains why I did not recognise all the characters. It was still enjoyable and I will look out for others.

I really enjoyed this. As a programmer I am well aware of how maths mistakes can have big consequences. He has some great examples, some quite scary, but there is plenty of humour too.

Another nice mystery. A mix of crime-solving pensioners and violent drug dealers. Mr Osman tells a good story.

I've been a fan of Mr Herring for a while. I listen to some of his podcasts and have seen him live a couple of times. I bought this book and got it signed at the last one. It is about him approaching 40 whilst living a life of excessive drinking and lots of partners and being a performing comedian. That was nearly 20 years ago. He is settled down with a wife and kids now, but he did seem to be off the rails then. He is quite honest about it all. I could empathise with some of it, but I had a much more stable life at that time. I'm sure some people would consider some of his actions disgraceful. An interesting read, but maybe not for everyone.

I was reading this in odd moments and decided I needed to finish it. Not my favourite of the series, but still good. I will put the next one on my wish list.

Bookwyrm is not showing the full title, but this is volume 4.

Definitely my kind of book. I love to learn how musicians think and David Byrne is a deep thinker.

Very lightweight and less funny than I hoped. It was an Xmas gift.
