Really enjoying the return to my A Levels with John Locke, John Maynard-Keynes, post war economic policies and even El Niño/La Nina

The Divide

Abby is on page 121 of 365 of The Hobbit
Arguably the wrong order to read these in but realised I hadn’t actually read the hobbit since year 7 and probably couldn’t tell you a great deal about it so here we are.

I find it unreasonably exciting when a book mentions a different topic i know a little about, currently getting very excited about mentions of the Crimean war and Tsar Alexander II

“In deciding what will be remembered, a museum is also deciding, in part, what will be forgotten”

I fear this book is not helping with my habit of excessive philosophising (mind you this happens with most books I read so maybe I’m the problem here)

“When times are confusing, everyone is a little lost. No one is as inwardly confident as they present themselves to be. Hence the reason we must read, my boy. Books, like paper lanterns, provide us with a light amidst the fog”

Because we all know I really needed to start another book before finishing anything else

Holiday book no. 2/70
Failing to read the prologue was once again detrimental to my reading experience so had to go back and do that after a couple of chapters and now I’m enjoying it lol

I’m really enjoying this approach to writing a biography by focusing on certain days in detail

I have indeed got to the bit where “things start to happen”

Reading about bible smuggling in the 1950s from a guy who was clearly successful is evidently fairly stressful (dread to think what the first hand experience would be)

I am amazed at how Lennox manages to answer such complicated questions on so few words (my waffling could never)
I reckon if I wasn’t already Christian, I would be convinced by now, and I’ve not even finished it yet.

I’m getting there folks. I reckon Miranda could conceivably rename this “a manual for how to live”. Only the second self-help-y book I’ve ever got close to finishing.

It's slightly ridiculous that I've read this enough to know certain parts word-for-word
