Virgin king
Richard Branson, Britain's 15th-richest man and one of its most prominent businessmen, was voted the country's leading role model among young people. He is full of paradoxes: he is a self-publicist who claims to be fiercely shy, a motivator of others who wore odd socks on the day of the launch of his airline, and a billionaire who borrows fivers without hesitation from friends and employees.;Despite his reputation as a financial wizard, he runs a business more conspicuous for its size than its profits. Millions of pounds have been lost on such projects as "Events" listings magazine, the film "Absolute Beginners" and Virgin ventures into pubs, satellite broadcasting, clothes retailing and recording studios. And, despite the publicity reaped from a run-in with British Airways, Virgin Atlantic produces only a modest rate of return.;This is a portrait of Branson which draws together the contradictions of this upper-middle-class Englishman who signed the Sex Pistols and for whom danger is a sensation he appears to relish.
Nobody In Particular - Cherry Simmonds - Autobiography: General
"Nobody In Particular" is the hand-on-heart, honest, charming and occasionally tear-inducingly tragic, often laugh out loud funny story of what it was like to grow up in Liverpool in the 1950s and '60s as the youngest child in a large and somewhat eccentric Anglo-Irish family: Cherry's father would while away the hours playing his guitar in the outside loo until the pubs opened while her mother seemed to be either menopausal or depressed or both, and devoted most of her energies into saving for a divorce or her own business - whichever came cheapest. Capturing the despondency and deprivations of post-war England as embodied in the back streets of Liverpool and the subsequent vibrancy and liberation of the swinging sixties - the decade of the Beatles, national strikes and Liverpool FC winning the FA cup for the first time - this is an ebullient tale told by a natural storyteller. "Nobody In Particular" is not only a funny, affecting and nicely self-deprecating personal story (peopled by some splendidly observed larger-than-life characters - her family), but also a rather wonderful slice of social history, evoking a bygone yet still familiar and fondly remembered era.
