#StorySettings #River
Laing‘s walk down the River Ouse, looking at the roles the river has had through history. This is also the river that Virginia Wolf drowned herself in
so-soWell that was an interesting experiment. There are poetic passages featuring the author's direct reflections on walking with which I could identify strongly. There were inclusions of certain philosophers and figures from history and their connection to walking that I found more or less informative. 1/?
Can't agree with everything Gros is saying, but I strongly identify with certain passages.
Looking forward to my reads this month! #tbr

so-soThis had some interesting observations. One long scenario anout no one providing him water was particularly well done. Overall though after the first 8 chapters I grew bored. It seemed to fall into the socio- babble of every thing that‘s wrong in America can be fixed by having front porches. I love a deep porch, but…I am grateful though for the tip that the field in which Frederick Douglas fought for his freedom is still a field we can visit.

My selection for week 8 #Fridaynightshare is the 1st Robert Macfarlane book I read, The Old Ways. He has such a poetic turn of phrase, that really lends itself to his descriptions of landscape, flora and fauna. Beautiful, poignant, and observant writing. Outstanding nature writing.
