Book Nonbá (2) Announced!

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Word up fellow 'Worms! Been some time coming but the wait is finally over! M&S HQ - in partnership with the Marcus Mumford School for Those That Can't Read Good - is proud to announce the second instalment in the continuing adventures of the Mumford & Sons Book Club!

Fanfare please, maestro!

The second page-turning, mind-expander is...

'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West' by Dee Brown.

If that whets the whistle, track a copy down, get the half-moons out, and get reading!

hey guys... im so glad your coming over to northren ireland,,,, some bands seem to forget us quite often infact.... was just wondering if there was any chance of adding another date cause i didnt get any tickets and was very annoyed at myself... if not... enjoy the belfast crowd they will blow you away... (not at all being bias) and i will hope to catch you next time around!!! :) x

I was at the Oxford Art Factory gig in Sydney - it was even better than expected (and I had very high expectations...). In a weak moment I asked you to come to Newcastle (Australia) next time, but you know what - I wouldn't bother, it's boring. There are better venues in Sydney. The book sounds interesting and will check it out. I've read so many history books on London it might be good to try something different. Thanks.

Agh! comments box cut me off mid-spiel. The cheek. In BMHAWK I like the Red Man's way of marking time and place - during the Moon of the Red Cherries...the Hot Moon...the Geese Laying Moon, when the grass was tall and the horses strong.... So plain, yet so evocative, don’t ya think? Have fun touring UK & Europe Love n peace xx Elena (in Melbourne)

Lovely Marcus, are you making much headway with the Bury My Heart...? I’m re-reading the early chapters. Finding the book, pounding, unrelenting, rightfully indignant - the author beats the drum louder with every chapter. Hollow treaties, lies upon lies, massacre after massacre. The Navahos ‘long walk’ to the reservations makes my heart ache. Cheyennes' ordeal - brutal. I can’t see a redemptive glimmer, so I’m off for a lie down.
