33rd of my #BooksOf2023
Both uplifting and depressing, as you’d expect. Well written and packed with interest and information. Highly recommended if you like this sort of thing.

And, read more or less in parallel with it, no. 32.
A nice easy going wander through some of the vertebrates and invertebrates we share the planet with. They certainly sound better than people for the most part.

31st of my #BooksReadIn2023 - some old school history. Easy reading but at least in places fairly erudite. Lots of the “essays” are interesting rambles that were supposed to be book reviews: there are now some more books on my overlong list of things to read one day.

30th of my #BooksReadIn2023
An exploration/explanation of the (dis)function of international, especially US, politics and relations, intended I think to illuminate the post 11th of September world it was written in. All seems applicable still today but frankly a bit beyond me/hard to grasp. Will have to reread some time.

29th of my #BooksOf2023 - it has only taken ?22? years to hit it in the right mood to go all the way through.
Interesting if apparently not always totally accurate, as you might expect from such an account. The representative approaches of the soviets and their role/understanding as a form of democracy are thought provoking.

A fairly quick and easy read; enjoyable, but not quite as good as Rebirding.

An interesting memoir from my local #Library, stirring up memories and emotions while giving insights into what is involved in wildlife filmography. Now I just have to find the film he was making!

A mixture of interesting and irritating. To be honest if you haven’t read it, I wouldn’t bother.
