And speaking of Atul Gawande, this is a fascinating article about the slow uptake of (certain) ideas and practices in medicine.

Time to reread a favourite book of mine,
'Being Mortal - Aging, Illness, Medicine, and What Matters in the End'
By Atul Gawande
Recommended reading for anyone who knows anyone who is getting older or who will be getting older themselves at some point.

I like trying authors that are new to me but Peter Robinson is one of my go-to writers when I want a book I know I'm going to enjoy 😊 #bookstadon #peterrobinson #booklovers #favouritebooks #FavouriteAuthor
Finally getting around to listening to 'Van Gogh audio book, a 44 hour listen. It was one of my last choices before I cancelled my audible subscription. Now it's mostly library audio books. I couldn't easily have fit 44 hours of listening into a 21-day library borrow.

#FavouriteBooks du jour: "Atémis et jiu-jitsu : l'art d'attaquer les points vitaux". Attention, nous prévient-il, ce livre n'est pas à mettre entre toutes les mains! En effet, l'échauffement et ses 38 exercices (!) fera de son lecteur assidu une véritable machine à TUER. Ce livre est un voyage dans le temps et dans les cultures; avec son papier parchemin, son style 50/60's où chaque paragraphe m'a été mentalement conté par Raymond Pellegrin, on y apprend du japonais et l'histoire du jiu-jitsu.
I get asked this all the time. It’s like having children. They’re all my favourites, but for different reasons! #favouritebooks #amwriting #epicfantasy #swordandsorcery #medievalfantasy #fantasybooks #heirtothecrown #fantasybookrecs #writingcommunity
What the Dickens? Our Mutual Friend (my favourite book ever) - YouTube. Haven’t watched this video yet, but saving for later. Our Mutual Friend is easily my favourite Dickens novel, and one of my absolute all time favourite novels ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKIG2UPlflU #Dickens #CharlesDickens #Literature #VictorianLiterature #Fiction #Novels #Books #Reading #Bookstodon #Booktube #FavouriteBooks #FavoriteBooks #NineteenthCentury
Molly and the Silent Miaow
One day I was trying to use the sun to get the musty smell out of a 2nd hand book I had bought when I saw that Molly had jumped up onto the chair in front of the book. I'm sure she knew what book it was. If you have read the wonderful "The Silent Miaow" translated by Paul Gallico, then you will know what I mean. If you haven't then try to find it.

@jimbodie That’s a lot of #books! I used to hoard them until I was forced to move a few times in a short period of time and decided to on a cull. Now I only have my all time #FavouriteBooks. Still a couple of hundred! And yes, thanks, Jim. I agree with you, everyone should read books by #KJHeritage ♥️

Farjeon died in '65. You can read Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard (legally in the US) here: https://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/farjeon/lippincott/apple.html It's a very hard to find book. I've only ever seen one copy, which I read and reread from my childhood library and then found in a junk store on a visit back, years after I'd moved away. My copy, from the old Centre '70 library. I can reach it from where I sit at my desk; it's one of those books. #Farjeon #FavouriteBooks
Totally agree, but I think it also holds true for things like favourite movies and albums. #books #quote #neilgaiman #FavouriteBooks
Going to repost a thread I did over on the other place here ... what are my favourite partnership fantasy novels ...
Do I want to say, romantic partnerships only, or partnerships founded in deep love, whether romantic or not? Let's go with that. A thready listy sort of thing... #books #fantasy #FavouriteBooks #friendship #lovers
Always come back to this one. #digitalidentity #favouritebooks 📚
