Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

LOB Book Club - Fall Edition?

I don't often suggest an LOB Book Club discussion during the most heated point of a fall semester for me. However, given that there are two recently published books that I'm really keen to read - and that seem like perfect LOB Book Club choices - I'm forced to make an exception. The first is Michael Chabon's latest novel Telegraph Avenue, which features the very Hornbyesque setting of a used record store in Oakland, California owned by two longtime friends and bandmates. The second is Zadie Smith's new novel NW, which is, quite naturally, about a group of people who populate her native "North West" quadrant of London - an area that Gooner and I are intimately familiar with. I'm up for reading either one or both here if there is a groundswell of interest. Let me know what you think.
