“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
So. There was I complaining about difficult to understand academic theses and in comes an unexpected but much appreciated gift. Thank you, Jordan A beautifully written, understandable and fabulous but short book written by Prodosh Aich. LIES WITH LONG LEGS
A long time ago, a beautiful friend of mine recommended this book to me. She knew all about my research at the time :o) I find the cover of this anniversary edition Rather Creepy! If you don’t know the story….read the book. If you can’t be arsed to read the book, watch the film. […]
One of my ALL Time favourite authors is Ann Granger. Her Mitchell and Markby books. I’ve read again and again. Poor Kimberley :o( “A macabre discovery in the All Saints’ parish graveyard leads Superintendent Alan Markby and his friend, foreign office official Meredith Mitchell, to the dark secret behind the mysterious disappearance of a teenage […]
Forever ago, I bought a biography of the Marquis de Sade. NOT because I’m into any of that BS, but because the Nature vs Nurture thing always fascinated me. Do the abused always become an abuser? Etc. We were not long out of the horrific Jamie Bulger murder stuff and the question WHY? was haunting […]
I might’ve said once or several times (!) that one of my all-time favourite novels is Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Renfield. Ooooh, ” Renfield: Master! Master! You promised me eternal life, but you give it to the pretty woman! Doctor Jack! I’m no lunatic man! I’m a sane man fighting for his soul!” He always […]
Ash made Me (!) It’s been a good 5 years since I last read Ash: A Secret History. I’m re-reading now and it all feels very different. Not least because I have a new perspective on Carthage. Oh. So much to do. So little time. Eat and sleep? M’eh. From IkkyWiki: Plot summary Framing […]
…MORE stuff like this. And much LESS BS :o) “We’ve all heard stories of people who’ve experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from illness, but can the same thing happen for our world? According to pioneering biologist Bruce H. Lipton, it’s not only possible, it’s already occurring. In Spontaneous Evolution, this world-renowned expert in the emerging […]
WikiSilly: Ash A Secret History I never have been and never will be a Fan of Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels. But years ago, I picked up this book on a rainy English day and read the first paragraph. I’m beginning to appreciate Mary’s storytelling skills more and more. “Amazon Review Mary Gentle’s Ash kills her first […]
I now realise that too few people understand Empath. They confuse it with a similar word – Empathy. Look them up. Not the same! There is a beautiful book (image above) that has helped me a lot. And now feels like a good time to share. Why? Because we live – today – in a […]
Were the BOOKS BURNED? Is the knowledge/truth GONE? Or is it ALL still around…for the favoured few to gloat over? Just because we’ve been told XYZ. Doesn’t mean it true… Just saying :o)
Kto Protiv Boga i Velikago Novgoroda means Who can stand against God and the Great Novgorod? This morning, at stupid o’clock, I found – THE CHRONICLE OF NOVGOROD 1016 – 1471 I’m thinking…if we forget the dates…this could be/may be a Chronicle of Yaroslavl, the HQ of the Great/Tartarian Empire.
