I’m currently rebuilding the website as the old one got totally messed up when i was playing around with things (no idea what happened).
So i thought that while it was a total clusterfuck mess of SQL, i would take the opportunity to give it a whole new life and everything.
So if you go clicking on things you might find that very strange things happen. Don’t moan, i know a lot of things are broken, i’m working on it, it takes time.
I’ve got tons of old posts and pages from three websites that i’m working through and will be gradually posting all the stuff i want to keep on here while fixing all the broken things as i go through, one post, one page, at a time.
On top of doing all that, i will, of course, be continuing to add more new content and my latest posts will always appear directly below.
Or, if you prefer, you can also follow me on Twitter and Pinterest where i put a link to all new posts.
Enjoy
The Zen Experience — Thomas Hoover
Been quite a while since i read this, but do remember it being a very interesting read on the history of Zen. It tells Zen’s full story through fascinating tales of its most influential masters of its various historical schools, all the way from its roots in India and into modern Japan.
If more people read about the history of the world’s religions instead of fighting over them the world would be a much nicer place.

I remember it being a good book but i never got around to writing a review when i read it, so, for now at least, it is assigned to “The Boneyard”.

A Wizard of Earthsea — Ursula K. Le Guin
I’ve lost count of the amount of times i’ve read this book, and i’m sure i’ll read it countless times more. Earthsea is probably the greatest fantasy series ever written. I’ve yet to find better.
Here’s an article in The Guardian… “David Mitchell on Earthsea – a rival to Tolkien and George RR Martin”.
Available in the collection The Books of Earthsea

Minimalist Living — Genevieve Parker Hill
I used to have a very minimalist lifestyle. Used to. Maybe one day i’ll go back to that and this book waits in the pile for that day.

Yeah, mine need some hacking. 
It sounded interesting so got added to the pile.
Yes, running 100 miles in 24 hours is on my bucket list. Note to Self — Joseph Lallo
Another temporal sci-fi tale, which, like Temporal Contingency, Joseph does incredibly well — he just seems to have a way of avoiding the mind fucks that most sci-fi writers get you into with this sub-genre.
This short was originally available in the Orphans in the Black Anthology, then made available to Joseph’s Patreon subscribers and now also in the collection Paradoxes and Dragons.
