I think Neil must have just read Flatland
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott 📚
📚Want to read: Four Laws That Drive the Universe (Very Short Introductions) by Peter Atkins.
Currently reading:
Sapiens - Graphic Novel 01
by Yuval Noah Harari
📚
**Notes:** I mean - *don’t not* read the original book, but this is a fun way to engage with Harari’s thinking.
Finished reading:
Working Class Boy
by Jimmy Barnes
📚 🎵
**Notes:**
Bookshelf now enabled on Microblog.
Some clean up and updating in front of me - meanwhile - a test post.
A Confederacy of Dunces … John Kennedy Toole
How could I resist adding a never to be repeated bolt of excellence that came from ‘nowhere’. Smallcreep’s Day was the other choice.
7 of 7 for 📚#mbmay The Series
Waterland … Graham Swift
It’s hard to choose which Swift. But I did it.
6 of 7 for 📚#mbmay The Series
I have just gone back and added On The Map to all my past week’s 📚#mbmay entries.
At a stroke provides a cool visual reference for any author - and the similar authors that might be in that same orbit.
Eg : John Fowles
The Gormenghast Trilogy … Mervyn Peake
If you are one of those people that enjoy the sagas of Tolkien/Lewis/Davies … look no further for your next one.
5 of 7 for 📚#mbmay The Series
📚 I’ve mentioned a couple of times before how 4 of my favorite writers are called John.
That explains my first 4 choices for the @macgenie book week.
The remaining three leave ‘The Johns’ behind but continue to focus on lesser known books either by the author or in their genre.
