Im reading " Cracks in the Ceiling "by John Cowell he worked in the pit in Burnley, its very interesting. he talks of a place in the pit that was really scary called" Blue bird"where people worked on their own. I like reading about local people.

I'm reading the Lovely Bones but it takes me a while because I just read a bit before bed each night.

I saw on the news that they are going to be making a film of the Lovely Bones.

Wow.I'm impressed but bit too heavy going for my bedside reading choice Jaysey.

A film of The Lovely Bones would be something I'd have to look out for. It could lend itself to some great special effects.

I have just finished the John Cowell book and thoroughly enjoyed it ,now will finish the Don Howarth one. I find its very interesting reading about people who lived in familar surroundings to me , although in different times! Are there any other writers from Burnley that ive missed that write about their life in Burnley?
