More Laundry
Ok, having read Laundry book 4 to start, I have now read book 1 then book 3 in that order.
I like them a lot, evn though I haven't read any books by the authors they are using.
I also like the epilogue in The Atrocity Archives where he says really Len Deighton wrote horror, and Lovecraft wrote Espionage. Not sure I am convinced by the latter, but..definately interesting and makes you think on the topic.
On the whole, this last month or so has been a wonderful re-awakening.
For the first time in almost a decade I am reading new books and finding ones I love, instead of being too scared to try anything new, and half the time unable to read books I know I love cos they will be too much for my emotional equilibrium.
It's beautiful.
I have also been going to the St Andrews Botanic Gardens 2-4 times a week. It is also beautiful. When you sit there, you can't see any sign of a town around you, and I can sit there, watching the wind in trees, listening to the birds and the small waterfalls between ponds...and my mind just rests, not ripping itself to shreds. Normally I have to read whilst watching tv and also sew or rp to drive my mind from doing that.
