thereandback

Light and water - reading and thinking. sitting and talking. cooking and eating. After contributing to the vast newly manifested private wealth machine, and hacking through the forest of opaque ever changing rules we were thoroughly tested and armed with a handful of paperwork to finally find ourselves in beautiful Croatia. This holiday it appeared that reading took a back seat to sitting, swimming and boating but I did manage a few - There's no such thing as an easy job - kikuka Tsumura. truly odd is the best description, but in a good way. A short account of the destruction of the Indies - Bartolomeo de las Casas. just endlessly oppressive as the list of atrocities build up as the bodies pile up. You do have to question humanity. Broken Greek a story of chip songs and pop songs - Pete Paphides. a glorious time travel of a book, I laughed out loud continuously as I was reminded of the past in such an incisive way.  This is a must read for 45-60 year olds or for those of us transform by the music of the 70s and were there when the earth was moved by a man wearing dungarees!
