Have any of you read Umberto Eco's The Island of the Day Before? I've staggered to p46 but it's really hard going. Is it worth the effort? Does it blossom into something wonderful if you stay the course? Or am I flogging a dead horse?

Everyone now and again I will see someone use the phrase "woke mind virus" seriously and I will wonder what it is like to be them, and to have a head full of rancid pudding where a brain is meant to be

Went to the bagpipe zoo in Morpeth. Many are in family groups , but the cases are too small for them to roam and pipe so they just lay around looking depressed. There was one in isolation which was even worse, but they can't risk dronitis becoming endemic in the herd
