Late Gen X old soul. Books/art/film and historical whatnots enjoyer. Environmentalist and animal advocate. Intermittent archivist trying to hold on to truth in an increasingly fake world.
Current reading, in part due to yet another great @backlisted.bsky.social recommendation. I am one chapter in and already drawn in by the mixture of dark humour and heartbreaking poignancy. This will be be a good'un! #booksky 📚

Not quite sure how I managed it to be honest (for clarity, I am about 40 years off this age.) In my defence, I think Spotify is just very confused by my listening habits and just gave up at this point. 😂

I must dig out the biography of Jacques Tati I have somewhere and give it a re-read. Such humour but with an acute, innovative sense of vision. People don't tend to use the term auteur when it comes to him but he definitely was. 🎬

Latest read. Truly innovative novel, though a little hampered by its necessary vague and confusing descriptions. Ahead of its time in many ways re the intermixing of neanderthals and homo sapiens. #booksky 📚

Current reading. Such a wonderful man and a talented educationalist. It's a bittersweet feeling reading his thoughts on a future he knew he wouldn't see but which nevertheless he had hope for. Highly recommended.
