Maybe you haven't seen The Borderlands 👀

I really liked DeadStream.

Rebellions are built on hope...and free inflatable suits.

On a different point, I've been into DFW recently and his philosophy on why reading is in decline so difficult for so many. To paraphrase badly we have now been so conditoned to fear stillness and silence we avoid the quiet intimacy with oneself, required to read.

A charismatic character visits a once grand hotel aptly named the Majestic. But this is Ireland 1919 as things really start to heat up. Poignant, witty, gritty, romantic. ⚠️ Contains cats.

Another Mantel. A religious historical romp. Pastor comes to new village but there's clearly more going on. Church statues buried 👀 Uplifting jaunt of a novel where all is not as it seems.

Cover of Fludd by Hilsry Mantel. There is an image of a phoenix outlined.

Read at a similar time to Tyll. Mantel is a wordsmith. Wolf Hall books are so well known but this is more overlooked. A psychic medium, her spirit guide, go in unsuspecting and enjoy. ❤️📖

The Books of my Life. Some stand out moments, numbered but not ranked) Would highly recommend #booksky #5 Realised I have a passion for great writers of historical fiction and also jesters when I read this. Funny, witty, underdog protagonist who can be cruel but IS smarter than everyone around him.

Tyll by Daniel Kelman cover with a jester. A historical romp.

It's reminiscent of Poe if he wrote about St Trinian's.

Great tactic! My weekends have been pretty hectic since Aug. But I did nap yesterday. Too late, though.

Herzog's book led me to this writer. A small book about small lives lived well. Will never leave you. Twin brothers live together for life in Wales. Chatwin's prose is crisp and haunting.

#3 Sadly, they don't make humans like him anymore. Experience vast, knowledge epic, his love of overlooked humanity shines through. His message 'Fear a world where truth is not documented' READ!

A Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving. Read almost all of Irving but this one is a salve. Hysterically funny and that final chapter. What a life's purpose! We could all learn from it.

Thanks. I am extra vigilant with hand gels, washing hands, not touching face, eating extra spicy on a Friday, maxing out the multi vits but the physical unburdening of work regularly leads to a crash a couple of days in to hols, like your body says, yup...rest...now!
