Reading up on Murdoch

It's not all work, work, work for newly-appointed News Corp Europe and Asia boss James Murdoch. Oh no. The in-house Wapping paper, The News, takes time out to check up on his latest leisure and reading habits. Oh, and what football team he supports. "As regards music, my current favourite is Mare Nakamura's Traveller and Stranger. Also, I like anything by Bjork," says young Mr M. Mare Nakamura? Monkey couldn't find any mention on the web - how bleeding edge is that? Or else it's a literal. "Football-wise, I'd say I'm a fan of the game more than any particular tribe, although I'm marginally partial to Chelsea and Spurs." Chelsea and Spurs? Hmmm. There can't be many of those around, can there? At least he didn't say Manchester United and Manchester City. Anyway, moving on. "I loved the movie Sin City, but that was a while ago. Regarding books, I particularly liked Fitzroy Maclean's Eastern Approaches." News International staffers who want to impress the boss, buy it here.
