English Journey by JB Priestly
Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club, where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie’s favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read English Journey by J.B. Priestley, a gripping tale of a grump making his way around England in the dour `30s.

Stuff We Talked About
This is the Folio Society edition of the book that we both read.
Down and Out In Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier by Priestly's arch-nemesis (maybe?) George Orwell.
A BBC4 presentation on Priestly's "Postscripts" - his radio addresses during WWII.
An English Journey, Reimagined, part 1 with Alan Moore and Ian Sinclair.
And we totally spaced on this, but the super nice @travelswbrindle interviewed us for an article about the Bowie list for Early Bird Books. Thanks Chelsea!
What Are We Reading?
Greg: Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James and The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins - still! And some of Ulysses and Ulysses Annotated for Bloomsday!
Kristianne: Red Island House by Andrea Lee and Gideon the Ninth by Tasmyn Muir
What Song Did We Choose?
