"My parents had a great record collection, going all the way up to the year I was born, 1984. My dad had a lot of 2-Tone, and I’d listen to “One Step Beyond” by Madness. Being a kid in New Jersey, that was a transmission from another world: the weird accent, the sax line, and the cover. They’re all leaning on each other, this huge group of dudes. I didn’t have a concept for that – it was this bizarre thing."

It is a collection of biographies of incredible women in history, that was written in a witty and very enjoyable way. Every woman had something to teach us, and it actually boosted my self-confidence, while reading it. The authors picked very particular women, not necessarily very well known ones, but very admirable and influential nevertheless.

Some of these women might’ve seemed negative, but every single one had something to teach us, and let’s be honest, we are not angels sometimes either.

Ondaatje once again uses his own unique story telling method which gives us bits of conversations, recollections, letters, documents, poems and stories into a puzzle-like collection. With this, the reader pieces it all together in order to get a full picture of who this relatively unknown character was, and in doing so gives flesh to someone with a skeletal history. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/23/get-jazzed-with-this-bolden-book/

Half way thru the 3rd bioshock game and so far it's excellent. The gameplay the characters the sky city of Columbia so bright and colourful compared to the underwater city of the first two games if it seems too perfect starts off like that but soon ends chaos when u arrive looking for Elizabeth as I've already rescued Elizabeth already so I'm gonna keep playing too see where the plot thickens playing this as part of the bioshock collection
