15th I went fly fishing in Montana thanks to Norman Maclean’s “A River Runs Through It”. With prose that is direct, elemental, primal at times, its heart beats in sympathy and wonder with the mysteries of lives known and not known. #Booksof2024

14th of my #Booksof2024: Several people recommended ‘Flowers for Algernon” to me. Charlie’s excursion from low to high IQ & back again makes for an interesting plot and is adroitly handled. But for me the story hardly ever caught alight. I tripped over the clunky science, but maybe I’m the monster…

13th Torsten Bell's “Great Britain? How we get our future back” is a refreshing dose of evidence and policy-based optimism about how to plot a route to a more prosperous and equitable UK. Now he’s a Labour MP, it will be interesting to see this book’s impact… #Booksof2024

12th of my #Booksof2024. Mixed feelings about “The Ordinal Society” by Marion Fourcade and Kieran Healy. Interesting analysis of the rise of the digital economy, if somewhat too long & too abstract. I wanted a sharper perspective, but still clear that more data is a very mixed blessing.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped STU AND THE SKETCHY TIME STOPS along the way. 💜

A new update to my #books2024 list. This time 2 books about the simple pleasure of sitting round a bonfire. (Both in Danish, not sure if there are English translations available)

Book(s) 5(a-d) is out the door in my #booksof2024 list - it's the first four books in Ursula K. #LeGuin's #Earthsea series. And what a brilliant entry this one was. Im slightly surprised it took me so long to discover these but our wonderful librarians in #FrederiksbergLibrary strikes again.
