First read of 2024 completed. Not for the lighthearted. “Memories lie slumbering within us for months and years, quietly proliferating, until they are woken by some trifle and in some strange way blind us to life.”

#Reading1001 this one reads too much like non fiction for me to enjoy it, it is a collection of ramblings about life, the universe and everything pretending to be a travelogue about the English coast/countryside.
Didn‘t work for me but everyone else seemed to love it.
I did learn new things from this do I give it credit for that, particularly about silk worms and the silk industry.
Nothing to do with the planet or #Saturn5, but this tale of a walk around East Anglia came to mind for today‘s #RedRoseSeptember prompt.

Oooohh I love a good giveaway 😍 My favorite book so far this year has been W.G. Sebald‘s The Rings of Saturn!
Thanks @callielafleur for #clearingtheshelves3
Difficult to describe, easy to read: this book is simply MARVELOUS ‼️ The book seems like a straightforward account of the narrator‘s walking tour of East Anglia in 1992. But prepare to be transported into the past, into dreams, into the very mysteries of life. Sebald‘s prose is pure magic! This is now one of my favorite books ever 😍🤩

Resolve to #catchup on my June themes today, in whatever order I can.
Quite enjoyed this dream-like collection of travel logs and essays, which strive more to impose a mood on the reader than inform.
