Off to Faversham

I am going iver to Fversham today for awhile.I have someitems to sell over there. I will also be sniffing around the charity shops for some bargains.

This morning was spent reading,

Cleansing

Shannen and her large crystals of cleansing energy.

"Cleansing at my house. Sometimes you just have to reset and get centered. It’s ok to fail. It’s ok to make mistakes. But learning from it all is the most important. My life lately hasn’t been easy but I know that whatever i face, I can do with love and integrity."

Steak!

Did very well on getting rid of the five books and some DVD's i wanted to sell .Received £16 for the lot. I then walked around the charity shops and the Fleur bookshop but nothing inspired me today Nothing stood out to grab my attention. Oh well,another time perhaps.

Mind you,as it is Tuesday i had the 8 oz. Rump Steak meal at Spoons in Faversham. I washed it down with the Old Dairy Summer Top (3.6 % ABV) ale - nice but just not strong enough for me, but they did not have much choice in beers today.

Picked up a few visits this week which will include trips to Hastings, Eastbourne, Gatwick and Orpington.

Book 64 - Jo Nesbo "Blood On Snow"

Jo Nesbo "Blood On Snow" (Vintage)



Olav tries to put what he does for a living on a professional footing: he refers to those who pay him as his clients, and those he kills as units. This is part of his own strategy to remain aloof and to depersonalise what he does.

When he is contracted to kill the client's wife, things begin to go wrong, and Olav makes a decision which means his client will be gunning for him, literally. Olav tries to play Oslo underworld bosses off against each other. But not everyone is as loyal as he thinks they are.

This book is is really a novella, and thus a quick read, a short snippet of Olav's life, not a Harry Hole novel. Even so, we learn quite a bit about Olav, his background, and what he does.

This is quite a taut little thriller which is wonderfully poetic, dark and thoroughly satisfying.

Book 65 - James Garvey "The Story of Philosophy"

James Garvey "The Story of Philosophy : A History of Western Thought (Quercus)




This is an excellent introduction for the novice to Western philosophy, being not only a text which offers insight and thought-provoking understanding of the great Western philosophical journey, but which also offers wonderful illustrations to help the reader cement that text into a greater understanding. So each chapter of the book is an enlightening text, with pertinent illustrations which help to put together what can be extremely complex ideas.


A useful primer book- very good introduction to the subject, easy to read, devoid of pretension and concentrates on the main aspects.
