Did I seek where the wind bites keenest, learn to live where no one lives, in the desert where only the polar bear lives, unlearn to pray and curse, unlearn man and god, become a ghost flitting across the glaciers? You did Friedrich, you did.

Review of American Pilgrim by #RooshV. He's gone completely off the grid, so I can't send it to him.

A charming, funny novel set in suburban New Zealand. Written in the vein of Bukowski and Orwell, the NZ postal service has never been so entertaining.

Reading Burma Sahib by Paul Theroux. Not a bad AI generated (?) cover.

Smoko: "A remarkable insight into the power imbalances and the casual exploitation that exist in all modern workplaces."

#bookcovers Out of the blue, people have messaged me saying they like the cover. Bragging? Well, nobody messaged me about the content out of the blue😂

[F.E. Beyer @batriad]

@donlachlan Thank you, no hurry, BTW did you design cover for your latest? I like it. Did you decide on yellow covers from the beginning to stand out from crowd?

George #Orwell's colleague Georges Kopp drew a diagram of the wound and sent it to Orwell's brother-in-law, a thoracic surgeon, in Britain.

@NickHordern @chinarhyming I heard The Angry Rabbit was good, hard to find a copy though and no ebook.
