I'm a borderline Sebald obsessive.

If you see this, post a book you’ve read more than once. Still fascinated by this book, over two decades since I first read it. Last year, managed to walk a section of it.

To be fair, I'm not a prolific poster and swopping phones with associated password amnesia hasn't exactly helped... ... but welcome to Bluesky!

In his last book of diaries, 'Smiling in Slow Motion', Derek Jarman wrote of '......the warmth that people give me like a good coal fire on a winters day.' (Tues 11th June 1991). May there be plenty of warmth for him on this 30th anniversary of his passing. #ModernNature

Battered and well thumbed, my copy of Derek Jarman's 'Modern Nature', read when new and since, affecting me in ways I'm still discovering.

GOD,
WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE?

PURPOSE IS A MAN-MADE
CONCEPT, WHICH TIES ALL YOUR TIME ON EARTH TO THE STRESS OF HAVING TO FULFILL SOME GREATER GOAL.

FREE YOURSELF FROM THIS PRESSURE, KEVIN.

SO... YOU HAVE NO IDEA EITHER,
HUH?

What I read, what I want to read & what I have in the house to read are three, often somewhat incompatible, lists. I don't have time for any others... ....and neither should you! Don't judge yourself by other people's lists; treasure the delights you have discovered by yourself that they missed.
