The Fry Chronicles: An Autobiography | Stephen Fry

pick

I didn‘t realise this is actually Part 2 of Stephen Fry‘s autobiographies - must go back and read the first now! I loved this but then I love Stephen Fry. It‘s like having him sit down for a coffee and tell you all his stories from Cambridge through to becoming famous. It is FULL of detail about specific theatrical productions, scriptwriting etc so if that doesn‘t interest you, this isn‘t for you. It‘s also full of his particular self loathing 👇

Centique I have enormous sympathy for that struggle he has. Can be hard to read him being so tough on himself constantly. Sounds like the previous book deals more with his mental health and the trouble he got into as a teen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6y

Centique Also - see the autumn leaves! 🍁🍂🍁 6y

ScientistSam Lovely leaves! And I adore Fry so am definitely stacking this! 6y

Centique @ScientistSam yay! I should note that the first book is

Moab Is My Washpot

Rissreads I did exactly the same thing as you. It didn‘t matter one bit. Both books are enjoyable 💚 (edited) 6y

CarolynM I adore Steven Fry. It has always made me sad that someone so gifted struggles so much. Pamela Stevenson did an interview with him some years ago that was really hard to watch, but very revealing. I don't know if you could find it on YouTube. 6y

Centique @CarolynM sounds fascinating - I had a look for it but didn‘t find it. I did find a documentary he fronted about his manic depression, so now I‘m watching that! It makes me sad for him too. 6y

Centique @Rissreads oh that‘s good to hear, thanks! 6y

Pretty much how I feel about leaving my corporate career and All The Pointless Meetings. 😂

Leftcoastzen I love when you have a meeting to set up when all the other meetings will be.🙄I have a friend nearing retirement, he‘s counting down his time by counting the number of all staff meetings he must endure. 6y

Reggie Omg, we had a supervisor meeting 6 months ago where only one of a hundred things got resolved. They just announced another one where I was like ‘What for?‘ I guess I should consider myself lucky we don‘t have them that often. 6y

Centique @Leftcoastzen meetings about meetings are the very worst! 6y

Centique @Reggie that one sounds awful though! I had this particularly banal monthly mgmt meeting where about 40 of us had to take turns describing how far our teams had achieved strategic projects. It was almost exactly the same meeting repeated every month #groundhogday 🤨 6y

This audible freebie is not in the database.

I enjoyed this fun historical romp through the Victorian underbelly. This is not an audiobook; rather a 12-episode radio series. We get insight into Victorian family secrets, murders and murderesses, sex and pornography, mental illnesses, gay and lesbian love affairs, and in one memorable episode, the origins of the water closet, toilet paper and the word “crapper”! Stephen Fry narrates. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⬇️

Gezemice Full review with a list of episodes/topics: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2634418912 . And just to be clear, the audobook title is “Stephen Fry‘s Victorian Secrets” (edited) 6y

Gezemice And since this is more or less a podcast format, I would think it might work for #booked2019 as “related to a podcast”? (edited) 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Hmmmm. I‘m usually pretty easy. So, sure that works even though it‘s a stretch. Let‘s see what my co-hosts say. @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft 6y

Cinfhen It‘s all good by me!! @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft (edited) 6y

Gezemice @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I think the podcast problem will be solved. I don‘t listen to podcast, but my kid is a huge fan of The Adventure Zone and she got the graphic novel for Christmas... so 😊👍

Ich bin nicht so der Sachbuch- und Biografieleser, aber diese war wirklich gut. Will man die Stars und ihre Alüren verstehen, muss man ihre Anfänge kennen. Nein Scherz beiseite. Wer englische Kultur liebt und sie aus erster Hand erfahren will. LESEN! 😉

I don't read nonfiction and biographies every often, but this was gorgeous. If you want to know the stars and their behaves read this. For real, if you like and love English lifestyle. READ! 😉

Nachdem ich ihn als P.G. Wodehouses 'Jeeves' gesehen habe, wollte ich unbedingt mehr über ihn erfahren und so ist seine Biografie mein Buchstabe I für #LitsyAtoZ. 😉

I saw him playing P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and I wanted to know more about him. So his biography is my letter I for #LitsyAtoZ. 😉

CouronneDhiver I love that your posts are bilingual... neat to see the German translation! 8y

lectures broke into one's day and were clearly a terrible waste of time, necessary no doubt if you were reading law or medicine or some other vocational subject, but in the case of English, the natural thing to do was talk a lot, listen to music, drink coffee and wine, read books, and go to plays, perhaps be in plays…
