I just found the perfect bath book, it is barely wider than my flattened hand when closed, hardcover of course...
They rarely make books like this anymore, it even has a bound in cloth bookmark, and an embossed cover that is wonderful for 'doodling' on with the free hand as I read...
And the writing is so engaging, descriptive, another place & time...

I wanna stay away from the world today and make my own reading ritual: two books at same time: one Japanese horror novel and one about Japanese myths. Of course a good ice tea glass would not be missed.

I’m genuinely speechless at that way of thinking. Truly unbelievable.

I own hundreds of books, they’ve shaped my entire life journey and the person I’ve become.

What he said isn’t just wrong; it’s an outright assault on knowledge itself.

On my way to KFC like I do every Sunday! I love an iced tea and some biscuits while I read a good book. I don't eat chicken or any meat.

So I'm with the chickens on this one! Haha!

I have been digging out my old copies of John McPhee's #books, dipping in, remembering what it was like to be a new #geologist, and how it has carried across into #spatial #data, #geomorphology, #geomorphometry, #hydrology, #landcover, #engineeringgeology, #environmentalscience, #landuse, #massmovement and so much more......
This one paragraph reminded me so strongly of that time,, although I cannot of course write as eloquently:
--
"I used to sit in class and listen to the terms come floating down the room like paper airplanes. Geology was called a descriptive science, and with its pitted outwash plains and drowned rivers, its hanging tributaries and starved coastlines, it was nothing if not descriptive. It was a fountain of metaphor—of isostatic adjustments and degraded channels, of angular unconformities and shifting divides, of rootless mountains and bitter lakes..."

"You have to be both an optimist and a realist. Sometimes people misunderstand optimism for careless idealism.
But it has to be really well considered and thought out with lots of guardrails in place, otherwise you're taking massive risks."
