Believe it or not I turn fifty at the end of this year and I've decided to challenge myself by reading 50 books for the fifty years I've been drawing breath. Can any of you recommend a book to read from each published year beginning 1975.
Cheers.

It's that time of year again and I'm in the throws of #depression it seems to get the better of me about this time each year. If others out there are suffering then do know you are not alone. I find that using brain.fm and reading helps.

Spent a lovely afternoon driving out to #GreatTew yesterday to visit #TheFalklandArms and I jokingly said to Lou that we're off to meet #SirDavidBeckam as he's a local.
Believe it or not when we arrived Sir David was actually there and sat outside having a pint. What a lovely fellow.

As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…
I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.
By ableists making ableist assumptions.

Far too true. I'm a full time carer for my wife and have been paying into the system for some 34+years the same as my wife. Last week while Imputting my income and expenses, I made a small mistake and rectified it an hour later. However my wife's payment for tomorrow is now delayed.
Disabled people are more likely to be victims of financial abuse.
And the Universal Credit system makes that even more likely by not allowing them to have money if they live with a partner who earns/has some savings.
It's a horrifically abusive system.

So I'm currently 45 mins into a boost in Lichfield and I've not had a single order. It was bust up till 4pm and what's the betting it will get busy at 5pm when the boost ends.

Phew that took a good while to do yesterday. Got rid of my old bookcase and built up two new bookcases to match the first one. So much more space in my reading room now.

I got me a new book today seeing as I've been reading 800+ novels of late. I think that this will be a welcoming break. Anyone read this before?

Sat outside and just started reading what some people say is the Greatest Novel of all time. It's The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Love your thoughts on this book.

Working all day looking after my bunny who now needs Kidney Dialysis each night. Thought it a good time to read #TheIliad and enjoy a pint.

in 50 years we’ll all be in the same old group chats, sharing the same old memes for nostalgia’s sake, in a bold attempt to cling on to some semblance of cognisance, as we begin the slow decline into the madness of death and beyond

I'm reposting this because most of what I've just read about is not Food but - Industrially Produced Edible Substances.
My goodness, this book is changing my relationship with food already even though I'm halfway through it.
My days of consuming Processed Edible Substances are coming to an end.
