Ma, He Sold Me For a Few Cigarettes

[Barbara]

I SO WANT to read this book!!!

I saw it in the bookshop a few weeks ago and I put my name down at the local library to borrow it. Of course, because it is a new release it is still on order. I want to take it away with us so I can read it while we are there. BUT if it doesn't come in by Friday, I am off to the bookshop to buy it - I just can't wait any longer.

Has anyone else read it? It looks fantastic :)

I haven't heard of it but the title sounds intriguing. Is it fiction?

[Barbara]

Oh sorry, should have said - it's actually a biography of Martha Long.

Can read a bit more about it HERE (http://www.doubleday.com.au/cm/title.asp?i=11791&u=8&pn=14&sec=4&seq=2)

Yes I saw it in Big W, it reminds me of a similar story of Billy Connally, it looks good, but I ended up buying the book written by Terri about Steve Irwin.

Sounds interesting but sad too...

I am just over 1/2 way through, it's a big book. I am really enjoying it, if you are into that sort of genre.

I don't know what it is that attracts me to these stories, I sometimes feel guilty for "enjoying" them.
