Watching Forty Hits of 1976 at the BBC it's not hard to understand why we needed punk so desperately . . .

and all the while I was deep diving into those Douglas Coupland books I was secretly craving some French existentialism . . . #amreading #currentlyreading #art #maps #AlbertCamus #booksky #photography

a Penguin Modern Classic paperback edition of The Outsider by Albert Camus on top of a map of north-central France. The bottom left corner of the book points to where Camus lost his life in a car crash in 1960 near the town of Villeblevin. The book cover shows a portrait of Raymond Duchamp-Villon by his brother Jacques Villon c1911 . . .

hmm . . . what a crap ending . . . also a bit miffed that I chose the name Kam for my Chinese criminal character in my novel Stacy's Song when Douglas Coupland had done the same in JPod . . . pfft . . ! #AmReading #CurrentlyReading #BookSky #Photography

'Woke this morning, the war was over Radio was singing love songs Saw the smiles upon the soldiers Coming home across the fields The calendar said first of August Romance and promises of summer days I strolled unclothed into your garden To feel the warm sun on my face The saving of the human race'

on a more complimentary note doug. i enjoyed this from jpod: Kaitlin: And while we're on the subject, what exactly is your beef with lottery tickets? John: My beef is that my father won the Irish sweepstakes when I was two and left my mother, who overreacted and became a power lesbian. ⤵️

that point in a Douglas Coupland book when enjoyment is replaced with perplexity. thankfully Doug inserted 77 pages of prime, pi & random nos. think landing on the bottom rung of a ladder in the game snakes & ladders. it gets you nearer the end #amreading #WritingCommunity #BookSky #ReadingCommunity

my semi-autobiographical #wip consists of 26 short stories with the sub-title 'an a-z guide' the problem with this approach is that my word count is already 60k and I still have 13 letters of the alphabet to be allocated a short story c and m have both been very popular btw . . #writingcommunity

found myself in a virginia astley song today. there was sheep talk in the neighbouring field and pitiful seagull sounds from high above that sounded like squeaky gates. all that was missing were church bells. check out from gardens where we feel secure to find out why . . . youtu.be/KNYW276VxPQ?...

mostly enjoying JPod by Douglas Coupland but am now drawing parallels with the IT Crowd - Bree as Jen, Ethan as Roy, Cowboy as Maurice, Steve as Denholm? Both book & sitcom came out about the same time . . . #amreading #Books #Reading 💙📚👀 #BookSky #NowReading #photography #ReadingCommunity

Look after yourselves this week, in our record-breaking heat. And don't let this or any government backtrack on its climate commitments: both to prevent the worst and to help us adapt to the escalating impacts to which - unfortunately and infuriatingly - we are now committed. #35YearsOfFailure

'People need to be perfect in every way so their souls won't have to reincarnate again. So many people are at the end of their cycles now. That's why Earth is so overpopulated. It's obvious. People are fed up with having to relive history. They want to end it.' #WritingCommunity #BookSky #BookQuote

deep diving into Douglas Coupland books has been an interesting (and ongoing) experience. Gen A was way better than Gen X imo but the use of storytelling by characters to push forward the plots felt like a bit of a lazy literary trick . . . #BookHaul #BookSky #Books #WritingCommunity #amreading
