I will not give up on this book! Been a while since I’ve read much tho

I done learn:
Morris isn’t that old. Molly dancing is a form of Morris with cross-dressing and has been around for at least 300 years.

Thomas Broadbent is starting Wild Service: Why Nature Needs You
“But it also hints at the way something more fundamental, more elemental, was broken. An unspoken connection which entwined the alterity of the earth deep into strata of our selves” - Jon Moses in Wild Service

Jon Moses may have some of the most pretentious and flowery writing I've ever read, but still, I think this book might be onto something.

Thomas Broadbent is 10% done with 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
I can't honestly explain what the hell JP is talking about. I went into this knowing I'd hate it, but it's just unlistenable!

Trying to listen to the audiobook and I zone out for a couple seconds only to return to another weird bible story weirdly extrapolated to the 21st century.

Is this worth finishing?!

Thomas Broadbent is on page 88 of 329 of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
“His childhood was dead or lost and with it his soul capable of simple joys, and he was drifting amid life like the barren shell of the moon.”

Didn’t think I’d sympathise so much with a book written over 100 years ago would be so devastating.
