Fun - some unplanned, some planned

After the movie, am now finishing Kurosawa's autobio. Gem of an account. You are in love with him from the moment he tells you about how Renoir's account and his reasoning changed Akira's own take on his book.

And they all sang by Studs Terkel Rs 199
A big life in advertising by Mary Wells Lawrence Rs 75

Book 1 above is by someone who is a legend in radio broadcasting. It is about the greats of 20th century music.
