MY FIRST BIG BREAK CAME WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD.

IT'S TAKEN ME MORE THAN SEVENTY, YEARS TO REALISE THAT.

YOU SEE, AT FIVE I FIRST LEARNT TO READ. IT'S THAT SIMPLE AND IT'S THAT PROFOUND.

I love these words from super Scot Sean Connery writing in BEING A SCOT, (Weidenfeld & Nicolson $47.99)

Great book, hard to believe the man is 78 years of age. More about the book when I have finished reading it.
