Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

Steve JobsSteve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely fascinating. Steve Jobs is a true legend, genius and inspiration. The book shows his dark, cruel, harsh side as well as his creative genius and drive.

This is one of the best books I have ever read (even although it is the 1st book I actually listened to on Audible on my Android phone).

Listen to or read it - it's an amazing book.

Final Facebook posting before Lent 2012


I've just posted this on Facebook:-

It's Ash Wednesday tomorrow.  This is a time when us Catholic's normally give something up for 40 days.  I've decided to give up on alcohol and probably more difficult for me - Social Networking.  After tonight I won't be visiting either Facebook or Twitter.  This will probably make a few people happy since I keep getting comments about how much I check in doing this, that or the next thing.  See you all after Easter :-)
Oh and one last thing - if you don't like my regular comments and check in's, stop moaning about it and just take me off your friends list and that way you won't have to suffer all my postings.
Happy Lent and God Bless you all :-)

The Light Fantastic - Terry Pratchett

The Light Fantastic (Discworld, #2)The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really enjoyed this 2nd Terry Pratchett book. The story of Rincewind, Twoflower and his Luggage makes for a great adventure. Fantasy, magic and space turtles. Love it :-)
