I've been doing this in my non-fiction reading this year. It's really opened my mind to so many new subjects, ideas and made me really think about what I'm reading. It's a new habit I'm going to nurture.
Looking forward to being part of your #thingsincommon challenge @Clwojick

Thanks for hosting x

History and archaeology meet hiking trips across the U.K. countryside in this lovely book. Adams posits that to really understand Dark Age history in the U.K. you have to traverse the landscape, and he does just that in this book. The narrative's a bit dry in places but Adams is a pretty good storyteller for the most part so it isn't that much of a concern :).

Perhaps I was not in the right mind frame for this at the present moment. The author is an archaeologist specializing in the dark ages of Britain traveling throughout Britain on foot, on bike or by boat, walking ancient paths, visiting ancient sites. Part history, part travelogue, I think I was looking for something more in style of a strict history.
