yup, its a good read and full of really good information on the species that are available month by month, albeit not every species, but he does list the main ones with a good amount of detail both written and photographic, but also provides a list of secondary species as he calls them for each month.
Id recommend the book to anyone as an addition to their library
10x is better than 2x by Ben Hardy
It's about aiming for big goals rather than small ones, quite good.

The Saboteur of Auschwitz by Colin Rushton.
The true story of Arthur Dodd, one of the British POWs interned in Auschwitz during WW2. Easy reading style but the detail just gets more and more dire as one progresses. A very moving story.

Since I was a young boy I’ve wanted an early edition of Charles Darwins the origin of species.
So I proudly invested in an 1889 edition.. can’t afford the original.
In reasonable condition, Smells beautiful, got a lovely creek when opened & it came with an brass book marker inscribed with the life works of Darwin.

What a serious lot you are!
I admit to enjoying reading philosophy but it’s interspersed with all sorts of light reading. Much of it would be called “chick lit”. When it’s good it’s descriptive, engaging and I enjoy reading about affection. Soppy, probably but after a long dose of Nietzsche it is restorative. I need a holiday away somewhere sunny after exploring Existentialism - I really don’t know why I persisted!
I’m also very slowly getting through Pepys diaries. We haven’t learned a thing about politics since then!

For a light and escapist read, it's any of the swallows and amazon's books, by Arthur Ransome. I have the whole set stacked by my bedside, and read then all at least once a year, having done so since I was a kid. I love escaping into that world of childhood freedom.

Just finished the Complete Works of Voltaire, really enjoyable read, just starting HG Wells 'First Men In The Moon'
I do find it now difficult to read fiction , be it sci-fi , fantasy , thriller , horror - I just find it a now difficult journey and not quite the carthartic mind release it once was.
But equally I know what you mean , you can't just read heavy text book after heavy text book without feeling drained.
Terry Pratchett - Thief of Time. For probably the fifth time now, as with all of his Discworld series.
I struggle to get into books these days, my mind wanders and I end up suddenly realising I can’t remember the last 5 pages even though I know the words went into my eyes! Really got into some historical podcasts though, so I get my brain stimulation whilst running or commuting.

Hardcore Histories?
Listening to British Woodland by Ray Mears for the second time. I think I should point out that after the first time I just started it again really good and interesting.
