Did I mention I like a good read?
I like a good read, every so often.
And, last night? Managed to start Isaac Asimov’s Foundation.
Something I’ve been meaning to read for a while: especially given that AppleTV+ is due to start airing its version of the story in September.
Three very short and well written chapters in … ?
I’m impressed.

Of course, when one book is started … ? Another is finished.
The one I finished was Hallie Rubenhold’s The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper.
Something that takes looks at the lives of Mary Anne Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly: the victims of the Ripper, rather than the ripper, himself.
Can I suggest you have a look at this particular book?
It’s focus on the victims reminds us of one thing.
In Rubenhold’s own words?
‘In order to gawp at and examine this miracle of malevolence we have figuratively stepped over the bodies of those he murdered, and, in some cases, stopped to kick them as we walked past.’The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper, Hallie Rubenhold.
