It's not often I am bored, I suppose I could read a book.
Ooh! What are you reading at the moment?
a book on depression by Yapko. ( sigh 🥺 )
and I've got 3 books for leisure reading I could start. The Treasures of Time by Deuel ( archaeology ), With Love and Irony by Lin Yutang ( social commentary ) and The Isles of Unwisdom by Robert Graves ( Strange philosophical historical novel about exploration )
Since it's a book of excerpts I've already read half of Treasures of Time in the original texts ,I might finish that one then. It's a lovely book too, nice embossed gilding and it has maps photos and illustrations. :)
