Came across the ‘Socialist Ten Commandments’ today (from 1901).
Check out nos. 3 and 8… so relevant for our times!

Decided to read this because of my previous book.
As expected - not a whole lot of depth, but witty and thoroughly entertaining. Worthy of the hype if you want a quick read.

Death on Location by Rev Richard Coles
No pleasure should be ‘guilty’… absolutely love this series of books! Ripped through this one in two days. Banger.

Another England by Caroline Lucas
This is an important book atm.
It examines how the concept of pride in the UK / Union Jack has been co-opted by the far right and how we can take back these symbols and have a progressive form of pride in the UK.

Monsters by Claire Dederer
I really enjoy Dederer’s stuff in the NY Times so I checked this out. Written in her typically acerbic and autobiographical prose it discusses how/if it’s possible to appreciate great art made by bad people.
Answer: it’s complicated!

White Holes by Carlo Rovelli
This book is super interesting. A really complicated and crazy area of theoretical physics explained in a clear and understandable way. I’m not sure I got all of it but it was a great read!

Picked this up because of my previous book… Theology (a very short introduction) by David F. Ford.
I like this series and thought this was a nice general insight into Theology. I feel like I now have a Wikipedia level understanding of this!

Silence by Diarmaid McCulloch
Focuses mainly on Christianity but has references to the role and importance of silence in other religions too. Interesting book!
Dude on the cover looks pretty chill too.

Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang
Didn’t really get on with this one. I think the style wasn’t really my thing, but I liked her first book.
Give it a try if you liked My Year of Rest Relaxation - same vibe

A Beginner’s Guide to Dying by Simon Boas
Such a beautiful book. An irreverent take on looking Death in eye and giving it a swift kick in the nuts on the way past. Also tips on how to interact with someone you know who’s dying (very relevant for me atm)
Massive recommend.

#4 How to Survive in Medieval England by Toni Mount
This was ok. I’m pretty interested in this area of history so it was a bit too high level for me. But if you want a rough overview of what life might have been like, this book is a good option.

Let’s all consider what can happen when people let prejudice dictate their principles.
These people were murdered shorty after being rounded up. The thing that stays with me is the fear on the little boy’s face.
Remember and act.
