The Living Earth Manual of Feng-Shui

By

Stephen Skinner

History and uses of Feng Shui in ancient China. Interesting, and baffling at times.

Daughter of Tintagel by Fay Sampson, the complete omnibus. It's a thoroughly enjoyable and compelling look at Morgan's life during Arthur's early days told by her nurse, a nun from tintagel, a blacksmith, Taliesin and Morgan herself...as a student of the bardic it's a beautiful extension to the story of Taliesin...highly recommended!

The Immense Journey

By

Loren Eiseley


A visionary book on evolution. Well worth seeking out

I seem to have come to an end of downloading free (legitimately so) books from Amazon and Project Gutenberg - although Gutenberg has a never-ending and ever-increasing supply - highly recommended (www.gutenberg.org).
Having done that, I have had to resort to reading a few! I am concentrating mainly on the classics, which I read many years ago and am now re-discovering them - I obviously didn't pay much attention in the past.

Both Dickens and Hardy are still wonderful reads and also still relevant. My big disappointment is with D H Lawrence - very stilted, long-winded and, to my mind, mysoginistic - I won't be picking him up again. H G Wells is also worth a read, although somewhat dated.

I don't go for much modern fiction. I did recently enjoy "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruis Zafon - mystery, detective and with a background of books.

I have about half a dozen books I've started and now need to prioritise and work through. First up is "The Enchantress of Florence" by Salman Rushdie. Really enjoyable and a joy for a storyteller to read.
