What book are you reading?

Yes loved her usa tour, and the one around Oz. She’s on abc at the moment doing a tour of,Scotland with Alan Cummings. Worth watching as they’re visiting places from their past 

I can only imagine, @noosa_blue150!!  She is a REAL CHARACTER!

OMG ... her USA trip  I seriously thought she was going to get thumped, with some of the questions she asked there!!!  I must check out the Scottish one!

This much is true -Miriam margoyles autobiography. I’ve almost finished it , many funny anecdotes and reflections on her life as a,Jewish lesbian , now Australian citizen . As you’d expect she doesn’t hold back in her comments so if you’re offended by very direct sexual,references you may wish to pass . She’s very direct on all things .

@Fernweh, we saw the movie at the theatre a few years ago.  Can probably get it on DVD at your local library.

@arpie I didn’t know they made a movie. I will need to check it out once I am done with the book :)

Wasn't that movie just on a week ago, @Fernweh? 

SBS, I think?  I watched it last year.  It was Really good - tho no doubt the book was better!!

My new favourite book.. 📖

I was under so much stress that when I was diagnosed with BC it almost came as a relief, because I finally took leave from a toxic work environment.  I never realized how bad my work situation was until I wasn't there. 

Hi @Cath62 - I am certainly with you on the stress causing the BC.  I had 8 months of stress prior to mine.  It is becoming probable that the same stress is the starter for hubby's 'dementia' issues - this is a new thought so more on that when we have some answers.
The book was recommended to me by another member so I asked the library to order it in and they did - they must have thought that it will be popular.

I must get that book out of the library, @Cath62 - what an amazing man.  I saw him interviewed on TV a couple of times.  He only passed away late last year .... Here's a TEDX video of him:

I am currently reading a book - about Prince Andrew and Epstein & the Palace - Andrew had Epstein & girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell at numerous palaces MANY times over 20 years, meeting the queen and even attending family functions! ..... Talk about total CREEPS - BOTH of them.   It is a fascinating read tho - and gives a lot of insight into just how 'entitled' he thinks he is as 'the golden son' ... totally spoiled from birth and still thinks that  'I Am Royal' - so I can get away with anything .... something he has now learned he can't ..... 

@Julez1958 - the Beetoota-isms would be hilarious!  I see them come thru on my FB feed now & then!  Not unlike the NT (Northern Territory) News Book, if you want another funny read ... they have the FUNNIEST headings EVER! (One was: 'Why I stuck a cracker up my clacker')
