My blogs
| Introduction | This blog is growing on a compost heap. The residue of ideas left by years of random reading is starting to break down and recombine. Almost everything I say here will be derived from an understanding or misunderstanding of something I've read or experienced. The rest is new hybrids, my own ideas, growing out of what I piled on the heap. However, I'm not entirely certain what is mine and what is borrowed. I've listed some of the books I'm aware of being most influenced by below - needless to say, I heartily recommend reading them yourself :) |
