  1. As good a collection as I've read in an age. And the stories are all connected, so it has the feel of a loose novel. Just tremendous writing and (small-town) world-building

  6. I’m reading 3 books at the moment - it’s good to sit by the fan, reading & getting cool - although I’m tending to read Hornblower before sleep at night. (I’ve 10 books more in the #HoratioHornblower series to get through yet!)

  11. A good discourse on the weariness we feel in fighting the colonialism of fossil fuel companies and their political lackies.

    “They’re so ensnared in webs of patronage and co-option they can neither see nor acknowledge our real predicament, which is a state of global subjugation to fossil capitalism. What they offer us – young and old – is business as usual, and for all their deluded airs of respectability and legitimacy, our leaders are largely agents of desolation.”

  16. There's two things people say are worth believing in--the Labour Party and God, but they're a bit on the iffy side for my money. The ALP and the Big Fella, well they always got what I call a tendency to try an give ya what they think ya need. And what a bloke needs most is to get what he wants most. [Sam Pickles]

  19. The smell [of her decomposing corpse] knocked [the Anglican vicar] over like a shot from a .303 and he ran out with a nosebleed that lasted seven days and seven nights. He didn't die, but he lost his faith in humankindness and became a Baptist first and a banker second.
