Wonderful to see this format return, Matt … so much to glean from it - your ‘not much reading’ strikes me as plenty amidst the writing, birthday celebrations, parenting, dealing with life’s rollercoaster, being a lovely friend, and all …
Thank you. I guess with the books it’s not so much about quantity but what lands and goes in and to that extent my mind has felt absent from much. Thanks so much for reading.
"...it can feel like a tail being pinned onto a donkey of education." Hah! In reading this fine metaphor, I realize that much of (my) life is like a game of pin the tail onto a donkey. And that is fine by me. Stimulating posts here, Matt.
Loved this Matt, thank you - and AMEN to Tony Benn. Can we have a few more people of principled conviction in public life please
(And many thanks for sharing.)
Thank you, Mark. And hear, hear.

Many trails of breadcrumbs to follow.

Thanks for reading, Sharron. Forever walking round with tail and blindfold here…
November 2022! Wow! That’s like seven years ago.
I’ve no idea where the years go.
Thanks for the Ethel Cain tip. Half way through listening to the album and I very much like what I hear.
Thanks, Andrew. If you do continue to enjoy, her debut follows the same sort of dynamic and texture.
