I read. I walk. I watch old films. "Could it be, even for elderly people, that this was life?– startling, unexpected, unknown?" — To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf

I think it's time to reread this one, so I've dug out my copy from the 70s. Even the cover takes me straight back.
I was never the same after Red Shift
Moving from Peckham to Kensington now, and wondering why I left it so long before I reread Muriel Spark. On the plus side, it's all so fresh again. #BookSky
About to revisit Muriel Spark, thanks to @staggerlee42.bsky.social I'm starting with The Ballad of Peckham Rye, because it's so long since I read this one that I've got it all mixed up with Fludd.
I went book shopping for The Waves, which I've never read, but also came away with this shiny new copy of To the Lighthouse. So that's the one I'm about to start. #BookSky
Currently reading Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway - it's the first of his I've tried. Loving the mix of science fiction and hardboiled detective novel. Narrated in my head by Blade Runner era Harrison Ford. #BookSky
