The Dice Man, by Luke Rhinehart.

A cult novel back in the 70s but somehow I never got around to reading it then. Variously funny, shocking, anarchic, nihilist, philosophical. Enjoying it!

Holy places of Celtic Britain.


It's an interesting ramble around the British isles, of sites that have been considered sacred or somehow otherworldy special. From caves to pools, from rocks to wells and temples.

Honestly, I think it'd be a great way to have a long holiday, just following a trail through them all

Not terribly 'deep', non proselytising, just sites and a bit about what is known of them.
Full of photos and directions.

Ha, Clem, a terribly overrated book.

Makes you look like a liberal intellectual.

Toddy, having been many of these places The book sounds grand.

I’ve never been accused of being a liberal

i just finished the adventures of a german slave trader who went on a long vacation on a carribean island (and invented the five-day-week as he had all work done by Friday ) -- interestingly the tool Robinson Crusoe mentions most often is the hatchet (despite location no mentioning of machetes...) and despite existence on the island he makes no use of cocoa...

Dont worry, the sequel is far, far worse.

I was given this as a Christmas present. It's proving to be a very interesting book so far.

I’ve always thought of myself as fairly Tree anyway.
A little contrived but fun.
