This is excellent. Bit slow and scholarly to start, but soon kicks off. I prefer the author's non-fiction to his fiction.
Reading Coming up for air now, very good. Thanks for the recommend. I prefer Orwell's fiction to his non-fiction.
I read that along with all Orwell’s other non-fiction and essays about 30 years ago. Imagine what else he would have produced if he’d not died so young.
I read a lot of Orwell at college, about a billion years ago. Enjoying the reread. The chapters concerning the main character’s youth/boyhood are just brilliant and so relatable.
Very much enjoyed reading Lone Rider by Elspeth Beard. It puts my many ‘long distance’ rides into perspective as timid little adventures.
