Re: Books - Bringing in the Sheaves (Rev Richard Coles)

Wonder if it's a target audience mismatch. I, not being British, would find an absolutely bog-standard trip to Wales interesting, but I, not being British, also have no idea who Richard Coles is and no interest in finding out.

But I'm gonna tell you anyway! He's an ex-popstar from a band famous for making synthy falsetto disco tracks v popular in gay bars (The Communards; you might've heard of Jimmy Somerville, the more famous half of the band). He decided to quit the celeb sex'n'drugs lifestyle to become a reverend instead, as you do, but he also works part-time as a TV presenter and goes on comedy panel shows a lot, as you do. I'm not particularly interested in him, but this weird-looking autobiography was lying around, and he's usually an entertaining speaker, so I thought I'd give it a read. But it's boooooring, and looks like Goodreads agrees, and they say that this doesn't change.
