Re: What are you reading?
Ah, no I've not read La Bas. I'll put it on the list. I've just finished Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (I've got mixed feelings), so I can do without anymore angsty nihilistic black mass darkness stuff for at least a few months!
Up next is Cyril Connolly, so quite a change of pace; cucumber sandwiches to McCarthy's 5lb porterhouse BBQ steak.

Re: What are you reading?
If you have not read Cyril Connolly’s Unquiet Grave written under the pseudonym Palinurus - I can strongly recommend this to you - very interesting reading indeed - if not a little of its time - but none the less excellent. Apologies for the recommendations - but we seem to treading along very similar paths.JohnClyde wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 12:24 pmAh, no I've not read La Bas. I'll put it on the list.

Dipping in and out off these two at the moment but leaning more towards Wetlands due partially to the local interest and the way the information is portrayed in Mr. Bellamy's book.

David Bellamy! There was a man who knew his stuff! In my humble opinion, no one since, on TV has lived up to him as a presenter.
