Oct 2, 2018 · September 20, 2018. Always a Look on the Bright Side of Life is Eric Idle's sort of autobiography. Of course, we all know him as part of the fire-breathing comedic troupe, Monty Python, famed for a long running tv show and a series of uproariously funny movies that have become a part of our culture and collective memory.

Eric Idle always came across as the perkiest of the Monty Python team and the hardest to pin down. With his hyper-verbal routines, his jauntily philosophical songs — the one that gives its name to this memoir is Britain’s most requested tune at funerals, he enthuses — and his rock’n’roll friendships with George Harrison, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, it has long been hard to ...

The Biography. I wonder if the biography of a novelist is ever as interesting as his books. I doubt it. This one certainly isn’t and now I find the book itself is actually more interesting because it has been cancelled and withdrawn by the Publisher. We seem to be heading into dangerous waters.
A lovely, elegant book, succinct, interesting, and beautifully written, it clearly shows the intellectual that David Bowie was. Sympa, hip and erudite at the same time O’Connell cleverly avoids the pitfalls of pretention and has written a tremendous tribute to an extraordinary man and gifted artist and also a good reading (and listening) guide to a...
One of the most elegantly written Maigret’s I remember. His books are never so much as who but understanding why. This one the murdered man has done everything to ensure the list of people wanting him dead is huge, as he is a roué and an adulterer. He is shot, leaving a fashionable but very discreet brothel. But who? Maigret suffers from a cold and...
This is a must read to understand the pandemic and the response to it. Quite oddly it starts with George Bush and the unlikely fact that he had read a book that fired him up to realise that no one in the entire Government was in charge of any pandemic response. He insisted on starting such an organisation right away. And did. So kudos to him, thoug...
The foolish naivete of the American family who came to the American Embassy in Berlin in 1933, when everyone was busy trying to pretend that the Hitler regime was no big deal. Tourists and other Americans beaten by the Nazi thugs made it hard to look away but daughter Martha manages to, for quite some time, before inevitably the true nature of the ...
Contains more than you ever thought you would want to know about eels, almost all of which is totally fascinating, including the amazing fact that they all originate in the Sargasso Sea. I’d skip the fishing bits.
I hadn’t read this one, so it’s catch up time, because I adore this writer. I enjoyed this, what, her second novel? very much.
The Life of Louis XIV. A lengthy but readable life of a man we have seen a lot of recently. An extraordinary life as he constructed a glittering cage for the nobility to entrap them in a Court where they must compete for favour and affection. I was intrigued to read about his early Pilgrimage to Provence in 1660 to give thanks to God for himself.
The Mystery of Robert Maxwell. Not much of a mystery since he was a crook and con man from the moment he left the army, after WW2 as a decorated young officer with an enviable reputation for bravery. Giant balls and no morals, it’s the story of Murdoch and Trump. The mystery to me is how he managed to get his hands on the millions of dollars from h...
I like dipping into these tales which contain the seeds and the characters for the Rogers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific, though the raping of American nurses by American soldiers is not selected as a theme for Broadway.
Best known as one sixth of legendary comedy troupe Monty Python, Eric Idle never rested on his laurels – though he was quite happy to make a bit of cash from them when the opportunity arose. Covering it all, from his working class childhood and the rise of the Pythons, to the creation of the...
