Familiar stranger's thoughts

I read Tony Parsons' first book, Man and Boy many years ago. But recently, I took it up to read again. It was still as interesting as the first time. I suddenly went bersek and decided to read all the books written by him.

The books written by him that I have read:

Man and Boy
Man and Wife
One for my baby (currently reading)
The Family Way.

After reading Man and Boy, I wanted to know more about how Tony's life turned out and started reading Man and Wife. I was intrigued by his line of thoughts. Normally, I would prefer female writers and female singers. But this time, I found that I really like Tony's books.

Reading real stories is different from reading novels as there is no gurantee of a happy ending. Under normal novel circumstances, Harry Silver would have reconciled with his first wife, however, this was not the case in his life.

I find it so true, sometimes we realise our mistakes but we are not given a second chance to make good. We have to learn to pick ourselves up and carry on with our lives. That was what Harry did and he met another wonderful woman.

I am currently reading One for my baby but this book is just a novel, like his latest book The Family Way.

I thought I could read more about his life after reading Man&Boy and Man&Wife
