An historical gem. A short documentary on Glasgow in the 1970s presented & written by the radical experimental psychologist RD Laing. Didn't know this existed. youtu.be/VsAf2FYp78o?is=A5in…

#BookWormSat 'I don't suppose many people have heard of Charles Auckland, the pathologist, as he isn't the type of man who catches the public eye. What slight reputation he has got is of a rather sinister nature....' (A.L Munby/art Knut Ekwall) Even with home comforts, books can still lead one astray.

What a fascinating #novel. It comes from the Polish tradition of imagination and learning. I don't agree that it is an 'Enlightenment Novel'. It is early 19th century. theguardian.com/books/2026/n…
Was one of the great novels of the Enlightenment written by a man who thought he was a werewolf?

Happily Trolls still proliferate in Norway, many of whom live in the Hunderfossen Park, Lillehammer. In Henrik Ibsen's 1867 poem 'Peer Gynt', the Trolls have a saying 'Be true to yourself & to hell with the world' selfish perhaps but possibly why they have endured.

On the way home from a really nice lunch with P. Sea bream with zucchini fritti for me and tagliatelle bolognese for P, house red for her and Crodino for me. Espresso doppio to finish. Certainly won't need to eat anything else today! Kicking autumn leaves as I go!
