sneaking out to a cafe on Christmas Eve to write tomorrow's sermon, despite having had a month to write it already. How's everyone else's day going? 😅

Book 36! Orientalism by Edward Said. The first and last sections are electric and everyone should read them. The middle, where he's talking about a bunch of c19th Orientalist authors, is... a bit of a slog 😅

book 35 was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, because I went to see Wicked last week. If never read it before and honestly found it delightful - the sort of book I would love to read with kids. Significantly weirder than the film (... which I've also never seen all the way through).

book 34 was Protestants by Alec Ryrie. I live a chunky history audiobook and it held up well for being read over several months. I found the later chapters on 20th century and global Protestantism particularly interesting, though the whole this is worth a listen!

a friend asked me why I was making so many typos in a message and I had to shamefully admit it's because my desk currently looks like this 😅
