One of the things I like about physical books is that they tend to congregate together in unexpected combinations. I noticed this little stack on my desk (table) this morning

USS Monitor, Civil War ironclad. In its historical battle against the CSS Virginia, the first between two ironclads, the crew found the mechanism controlling the turret too cumbersome, so they fought the whole battle with the turret rotating continuously

Have to say chocolate digestives because when I was in Edinburgh working on the history of biscuits, I found letters to Charles McVittie that had his address on them. So I got a pack, went to the address and shared biscuits with the utterly baffled employees of the high end salon now on the premises

Just finished this book and it is absolutely brilliant. It shows starkly how sectarian violence and oppression shredded the social fabric of Belfast during the Troubles. The characters are so vivid, rich and complex. The writing is gorgeous, economical and poetic at once. Loved it, 10/10

I just learned that there has been a taxidermied blue whale in Sweden since 1865. They used to have the mouth open and people could walk into it, until a couple was found having sex in there in the 1930s. Now it's only opened on special occasions www.atlasobscura.com/places/malm-...
