Phillip is lamenting that all this talk of a tough budget has closed peoples wallets and retailers in general cant wait for the budget to be delivered so that hopefully people will start spending again. In the meantime, I have read an amazing book called Giants The Dwarfs of Auschwitz by Yehuda Koren and Eilat Negev. It tells the true story of the Lilliput Troupe of the Ovitz family, who were the only family to survive intact from the horrors of Auschwitz because they were dwarfs and were experimented upon by the infamous Dr Mengele. It is well written and a truly amazing story. Then I read The Moth 50 Extraordinary True Stories Introduced by Neil Gaiman. It is the written record of the popular live storytelling event that takes place in cities across America. I think it loses something because to hear these stories live, told by the person with their body language and in their own voice would add poignancy to their stories. However, if you have not seen these live, this is the next best thing. The book I have just started is Before I Go to Sleep by S J Watson, the winner of the UK Crime Thriller of the Year. I will give my critique next post.
