Come gather 'round, people wherever you roam and admit that the waters around you have grown (Bob Dylan)


Wie geht's?

Books bought

Bwahahaha - I wish

Books read:

Robbers' Roost (Zane Grey)
Swimming Home (Deborah Levy)
Glory Days: from gumboots to platforms (Dr Glam)

Kidnapped (Robert Louis Stevenson)
Tale Of Two Cities (Charles Dickens)

Week 57 of Nu Zild's lock-down (pretty sure it's week 57 - what is 'time' anyway?) and the 'books to read' pile is down to three. Aarrrghhhh!!

Luckily, two of the three are Dickens' novels. So, like, that's good.

Robbers' Roost was a proper old timey western with an anti-hero, a feisty damsel who needed rescueing, baddies in black hats, epic landscapes, outlaws, cattle drives and gunplay!

Swimming Home I read over two days - it fair galloped along with Levy's classy literary style. After two of her books, I'm a fanboy.

And so to A Tale Of Two Cities. Woah - heavy stuff dude and so, like, appropriate to our life and times. I predict a number of apposite and pithy quotes (they'll be full of pith) appearing on The Purdzilla Show blog in the next few weeks.

Love and peace - Wozza
