Book for August - The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry

We chose The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry as our bookclub book for August. We all read Moab is my Washpot, Stephen Fry's earlier autobiography over a year ago and enjpyed it, but felt that we would find his latest one more interesting as it covers his university days and television days rather than his school boy days.

Overview - Thirteen years ago, Moab is my Washpot, Stephen Fry’s autobiography of his early years, was published to rave reviews and was a huge bestseller. In those thirteen years since, Stephen Fry has moved into a completely new stratosphere, both as a public figure, and a private man. Now he is not just a multi-award-winning comedian and actor, but also an author, director and presenter.
