"To surrender dreams - this may be madness" (Cervantes)

#LunchtimeReading : advance copy of In Green, equine travels across northern Italy & Spain, inspired by Don Quixote, by Louis D Hall, coming from Duckworth Books in March, 2025.

The Don has always been a role model for me, so I can't resist a look ...

I think this captures succinctly the fascinating tensions between urban and rural areas of the Pacific North West specifically, but could be applied to many places worldwide.

I'm a big travel literature fan and I'm enjoying the book so far!

My bio will be short and sweet... I'm just over 50 years old, living in Ontario, and facing a battle with stage 4 #BreastCancer.

I'm here to vent, anonymously. It will probably help to spread awareness too, I hope.

Hobbies, well, I have many. Music (#jazz, vintage rock, and classical in particular). Old movies and #bmovies. Non-fiction, especially #TravelLiterature and pulpy autobiographies.

#introduction

Interesting quote. I have no counterargument.

“It seems at times that strife can no more be separated from monotheism than stripes from a tiger.”
— Patrick Leigh Fermor, Between the Woods and the Water (second book of three which document the author’s 1934 walk from Holland to Constantinople; a fascinating read)
