My taste in reading could be politely called “eclectic,” or more critically challenged as “schizophrenic.” I’m all over the map. During any given week I’m likely to have several books “going” at once. Between my desk, the night table by my bed and the living room ottoman, the present inventory includes a two-pound biography of Pope John Paul II, a novel about the Sudan, another Pulitzer-winning novel I’m re-reading slowly because it was so good the first time, a stack of miscellaneous news magazines and an old Nancy Drew book. (I am not kidding about Nancy.)
But the book that keeps moving with me from room to room is titled “Bono.” It’s a Q&A interview of Irish U2 rocker Paul Hewson, known for decades by a single moniker, and it’s a fascinating read.
