Don’t hesitate to contact me if you are looking for tips on those books.
I’m currently reading Bono’s
SURRENDER:40 songs, one stories and I really his writing style. It’s a Memoir written in poetry and lyrics.
I tried to read HOLLYWOOD ENDING but was so grossed out by the repeated descriptions of Weinstein’s assaults and attempted assaults that I didn’t want to spend anymore my time on it. I had already suspected a cover up by Hollywood and may pick the book up again and skip to that part.
I’m currently reading Bono’s SURRENDER:40 Songs, 40 stories which I really like.
Thank you for sharing your list. Patti Overholt
Dear Patti,
Yes, “Surrender” is great!
Hope you and the two-legged and four-legged gang is doing great.
