A book club - with a difference.

Lotus

Someone asked today if there is a book club, so I thought I'd try starting one. Not the usual type of club where everyone reads the same book - I thought we could write a synopsis of a book we've recently read, to give each other ideas for new books to read.

I have a Kindle subscription, so all of mine will be available on there for people who also subscribe.

  • I just re-read Nenius, it's interesting to go back and read all the mythic histories of Britain again, most of it is obviously wrong, but there's a lot of Ancestor Tales in them, back then your lineage was really important, Anglo-Saxon's and the Norse peoples always had a famous ancestor, usually going back to Woden/Odin, so creating an ancestry back to Noah and his sons after the flood makes total sense in this context. There's some very garbled, but real history in them too.
