Timble @timble62.bsky.social · 06/05/2026In England First come the snowdrops And follow the crocuses Then prime-roses and daffodils April brings the bluebells At last the buttercups Tell you spring is fully sprung 000
Timble @timble62.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Far from being a dull adventure tale about male fixations with killing animals. This book is radical, experimental, funny and deeply homoerotic. Without this Joyce would never have written Ulysses. Just my opinion. Please make up your own mind. 000
Timble @timble62.bsky.social · 26/04/2026This makes me mad. Neither this or any other monarch has done a thing to improve access to our countryside and yet we give them credit. Wonderful amenity though. 000
Timble @timble62.bsky.social · 18/04/2026When the sky is right. Is there any more gothically sublime place than a ruined abbey. This is Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire. Setting for a famous scene in Bram Stoker's Dracula 000

Timble @timble62.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Pound for pound is there a better novel in English? Bless you Virginia Woolf for your concise genius 000
Timble @timble62.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I have a method of valuing books which is quality ÷ weight. At 150 pages (about 100grms or 4oz) this one scores very highly indeed. There is no finer exploration, no keener insight of the human condition. Bravo Virginia Woolf. 000
