One Man's Opinion: LEONARD AND HUNGRY PAUL by RONAN HESSION It's a long while since I did Tai Chi and read the Dao Of Pooh. I was reminded of this when I opened Leonard And Hungry Paul  in that it w...

nigelpbird.blogspot.com/2025/10/one-mans-opinion-leonard-and-hungry.html A really lovely read from
@ofmooseandmen.bsky.social
and a welcome change of pace for this reader. #reviews #books #Ireland #delightful

The House Of Guinness hasn't grabbed me. It lacks substance and depth. Someone suggested it's 'punk rock in a pint glass', which means they clearly weren't around in '76 and think The Slits only wrote songs for Primark.

Brian Patten died. What a talent. Do yourself a favour and read his #poetry. He was king enough to support Ruebella Magazine back when we were starting up. It seems it's always time yo tidy up your life.

The throbbing hum reminded me of The Residents. #music #poetry

Next read, Leonard And Hungry Paul.

nigelpbird.blogspot.com/2025/07/cut-... News of my #newrelease over at Sea Minor. #novella #crimefiction #noir #books #kindle

Just finished writing a new novella. It's a noir farce/caper, similar in style to Mr Suit. It took longer than I anticipated and was hard work, partly because I was aiming to have fun (forgetting that even a fun story needs focus and concentration). Glad to be done.
