So I have finished my 41st book of the year and have to pick what to read next: for me, this really is a no brainier! I have read and reread this book, although not necessarily this particular edition, at least once every year since the early to mid-1980s! The five books that make up The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (I know, I know) make up my absolute favourite book of all time!

Happy Wednesday I hope you are all well and the weather is being kind to you
1. Got up early and went for a walk this morning and to mitigate the single digit temps (6°C) I wore fingerless gloves before the sun warmed me up
2. Did a nice variety of quizzing before breakfast (Sporcle, Redactle and Geoguesser)
3. Enjoying the sun warming our living room while reading and listening to 80s tunes (reading Ancestors by Prof Alice Roberts)

@RunalongWomble happy Sunday, I'm good thanks I hope you are well too. I'm currently re-reading Ancestors by Professor Alice Roberts which explores 7 burials from British Prehistory and explains how they expand our knowledge of early humans in the British Isles and how using the study of their genomes alongside the archeology is enhancing our knowledge

I have just realised that I finished book number 33 on the train from Norwich, but didn’t make a post here to show what my next book of the year would be, this was due to an overhead power line failure in the Colchester area

I bought two different books on writing poetry, with prompts to get you started.
Unfortunately, one of the books while encouraging you to "write deeply" the author also at many times criticises all the ways you can fall into "trite" and/or "workshop standard" poetry and how absolutely awful it is - as a way to try to convince you why it needs to be deep. Almost setting up rules to follow and expectations for qualities, or you'll inevitably be an unworthy poet (my interpretation of the introduction.) What a way to discourage people from even trying.
Write that trite poem and play around with it, go to that poetry or writing workshop, enjoy the community. Express yourself.
And yeah unfortunately that book is going to go straight into the next donation pile. I'll see what the other one brings for ideas.

@RunalongWomble hello, happy Sunday, I'm good thanks I hope you are well too. I'm currently rereading How to be a bad birdwatcher by Simon Barnes as I wanted a small easy read after finishing The Ring of the Nibelung by Richard Wagner yesterday

Saturday is turning into a lovely chill day. I'm sitting in our living room that has been warmed up nicely by the occasional sunshine; snooker is on the telly and I'm reading my book (The Ring of the Nibelung) with the occasional tea and snack break

#currentlyReading #books #Dickens
Trudging through The Pickwick Papers and recognizing the travelogue of story form from Terry Pratchett to Don Quixote. Plots? Who needs a long plot when you can have lots of little ones?
In the audiobook, cracking up at the number of words containing "v" when Sam Wellington or his father expound on anything.

Em semana de regresso ao trabalho, após uma leitura que será, muito provavelmente, das melhores do ano, e enquanto tento ganhar coragem para me dedicar ao Épico de Gilgamesh, o melhor é dedicar-me aos chamados cozy mysteries.
Este tem um cão e uma diretora de museu, diria que é a minha cara. :blobcheerful:

After finishing book number 27 for the year, and continuing my commitment to reread all of the James Bond novels, this becomes my next challenge.
By definition, if you have a favourite book in a series, then you also have to have a least favourite book. This is quite possibly the title holder of my least favourite Bond novel, and the sooner I get it out of the way, the sooner I can get started on some of Gardner’s better contributions to the series.

#CurrentlyReading “Ramana Maharshi: Teachings of Self-Realization” by Robert Wolfe. Page 63 quote: “All things come and go in the Self; therefore all but the Self is not genuine or truly existent. When the truth is clearly perceived, the ‘I-thought’ (the idea of self existence—for anything other than the Essence) falls away.…Anything which can be named is merely an alias for one thing: that Essence.”

So I am now sixteen books into the year and my next read will be a new edition of a book I already own. I have read all of the James Bond novels, but all of my continuation novels by John Gardner and Raymond Benson are tatty, second hand copies, so I’m buying them new.
