Today’s choice of reading. I’ve always loved reading but when it’s prescribed, the joy can become somewhat inhibited. I still continued to read after my degree as a youngster because you can never read enough. It not only feeds the brain: It can be illuminating & it’s cheap! 😂

@janeannenichol Nowt wrong with being a bibliophile, I always find it hard to pass a good bookshop

@oftheVotadini Sparky, my house is like a library! I bought a succession of IKEA Billy Bookcases simply to accommodate the books I’ve read/acquired. I did fall out of love with reading for a few years but books & music will always have a place in my heart. You’re a like-minded soul, I suspect.

@janeannenichol Very much so….me wife regularly rolls her eyes and says ‘not another book?!’ when I get a delivery or wander in after a trip to Waterstones etc 😂

@oftheVotadini 😂Could be worse! Your wife could be complaining you’re never out of the pub! Keep reading Sparky and please feel free to recommend any good books.

@janeannenichol My book choices would prob bore you rigid, love me non-fiction particularly history

@oftheVotadini Wrong! I love anything history related. I did a degree in English Literature/Language and it naturally involved history. I have always loved history, particularly local history. Please keep me posted about anything you find, relating to the North East.

@janeannenichol I’ll send you some stuff at the weekend in your DM & likewise open to any of your suggestions

@oftheVotadini @janeannenichol Have you read ‘bury my heart at wounded knee’ mate?

@fireandskill @janeannenichol Yeah it’s a classic, actually got 2 copies, a battered one from about 1982 and a more modern edition being the sad bugger that I am 😂

@oftheVotadini @janeannenichol It’s brilliant but heart wrenching

@fireandskill @oftheVotadini I’ve never read it… I know vaguely that it’s about the persecution of American tribes. It’s now going on my list to read. We should create a book club! Yes, I know you two will probably recoil with utter disdain! 😂

@janeannenichol @fireandskill We elect you President & we’ll carry your books 🤣

@oftheVotadini @fireandskill You’ll both need strong arms! 😂

@janeannenichol @fireandskill Funny, Kev’s real name is Popeye

@oftheVotadini @janeannenichol After that chicken shop 😂
