If you try to hit a baseball pitched at the speed of light, there would be a massive nuclear explosion that would flatten the whole city.

David Priestland: "The Red Flag - The History of Communism".
A bit of a reinforcement of all the stereotypical received wisdon in the West (history is written by the victors and all that), and insanely taking the view that from 1789-1989 everything happening in international politics was in a vacuum with neither capitalism or anti-capitalism being given the credit for having to react to what the Red bstds or fascist bstds were up to.
He draws fine parallels between the content of Plato's Republic, Rousseau's writings and Marx and Engels's development of their theories, and the shift from viewing society through a sociological lens to that of the economist.
About 700 pages, so it'll still be my current read when those dull, arid, violent, anti-fitba wallopers The Masons come calling, giving me an alternative to the onfield 'entertainment' for a couple of hours.Comment

Started this this morning. Paul Roland the author used to write for Kerrang before it turned into Kerrap , but he writes good history books too. This so far seems to be no different. First part is all about Hitler and his attitude to women growing up. He was a bit weird to say the least.
Carstairs was an interesting read too. Some stories fae the toon in it.Comment

Reading the Blade Artist just now. I really don't know why I bother with Irvine Welsh, I never enjoy them.
Nowhere near as bad as Maribou Stork Nightmares though, which is easily the worst book ever writtenComment

Finally got round to this. Kept it for flying home after this trip and nuked it over the two flights.
Not bad, read it in two sittings which is a sign of a decent read. An autobiography mixed in with his love of the Dons. I enjoyed
If you see this Ally, alot of similarties between us even though we are 10 year apart.
Spent alot of time in Newburgh as a youth, missed out on Scotland School boys at the last trial, Neil Simpson was a coach at one point(even though i think the guy is a *****), both Ellon Academy Alumni and of course we were both in a boy band.
Dont know if its because it was Kindle version but McKimmies name was spelt wrong every time."Stuart". Sack the Kindle man
Also you manage to mention Mr Dunbar in a published book. I laughed there. The amount of times he opened the fire doors from the hall into smokers alley and bellowed words to this effect "Mr Pacman, once again i catch you puffing away,those things are no good"
Anyway, good effort minComment

Life in a west coast minning town, set in the early 1900's. Quite a dark story so far.
