It was Charles Dickens who gave us "The Law is an Ass" as an astute observation that sometimes law and lawyers can go off the rails. Lousy writers have often written silly laws but great writers are inspired by it. A little mockery is a good thing. 🥔🚲🐾🪑👨‍⚖️ Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 etc. Leonardo Bonacci of Pisa is the famous Fibonacci of the infamous Fibonacci Sequence: a mathematical sequence observed in nature and useful for unlocking Swiss bank accounts (spoiler alert - The Da Vinci Code). Clearly and concisely written in 1202 all about those pesky varmints, rabbits. Fibonacci was not just good with numbers, he handled words brilliantly too. 🇮🇹🏰 🧮🐇 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads

Michael Crichton wrote "The Andromeda Strain" when he was just 27 years old. It's a Sci Fi classic from 1969. That's more than 50 years ago but it's still a rollicking riveting read. From Westworld to Jurassic Park and State of Fear the genial giant was the thinking person's blockbuster author. 🇺🇸🔎⚠️🚀🪐👽🦠 Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads

Elizabeth Barton, The Maid of Kent, confessed her treason of King Henry VIII twice. Once officially. And once again, personally, as she stood ready to be hanged and beheaded. Great writing from the past with a tragic air. ️♱👑👧👺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⛪️ Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads

Paul Fussell's book "Class" is a 1983 classic. While nearly 40 years have passed Fussell's theories of 9 classes with one weird 10th Class 'X' still hold true. He was a deep thinker and researcher, WWII hero and a great writer. Every high class library has some Fussell. 🇺🇸🏛🏕🎩🧢 ✍️ Get in touch: Email: nudiereads@gmail.com Web: https://about.me/nudiereads Instagram: instagram.com/nudiereads Podcast: https://anchor.fm/nudiereads Sponsorships: off for this episode

Dame Diana Rigg wrote 'No Turn Unstoned', a collection of mean reviews of plays, films and musicals, published back in 1982. It's a gem of a book. Included as mean reviewers are Clive James and Dorothy Parker.
