I went off to do a bunch of home improvement DIY stuff before winter sets in. After that I took a little vacation and actually went somewhere, and I ran across this in Winchester Cathedral. Which reminded me I‘ve only read one of the seven books of hers that I own, so it appears I‘ve got something else to do now. As Jane supposedly once said: “Ah! There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.” Amen, sista!

I was given this book about 30 years ago and couldn‘t get into it. Having decided it was time to read it and let it go, I forced my way through Malte‘s uninteresting recollections of his childhood and whatever else he was rambling on about. Thank goodness he didn‘t blab on as long as Proust did. I couldn‘t have taken much more of it. A few worthy sentences for sure but the rest was a great big yawn. Good for insomnia though. 😴

This book explains the history, sociology, psychology, inventions, wars, political manoeuvrings and much more about our world today, as seen through the lens of geography. I wish I‘d learned this back in school as it would have saved me a lot of head scratching since then. But hey, everyday‘s a school day, right? Learn something new every day! 💡

Imagine if Mrs Dalloway were written by Shirley Jackson but it‘s Mrs March you follow around, listening to her thoughts, wondering where the line between her reality and fantasy lies. Is she slightly unhinged or truly psychotic? It‘s not clear until the very end. Then you know. Absorbingly creepy!

While clearing out some shelves the other day I ran across this unread book. Back in 1991 I read my first book by this author, which I remember enjoying a lot. I have nothing against zombies or horror but, unlike the other book, this book I really couldn‘t “stand”. #DNF

Oh man, I gotta get me one of these. Even though “galaxy” might be stretching it a bit.

Last Thursday I found myself in a bookshop in a city I‘d never been to before. It was my first trip anywhere in ages. While perusing the shelves I discovered another reason I like Edvard Munch. His angst drove him to create sublime works of art I can definitely relate to. 😱
