Took time out today to read this excellent new novella from @weatherglassbooks.bsky.social . A strange, dystopian tale about one man & two worlds, cold, sparsely-populated Aerth, and hot, over-populated Urth. I'll say no more other than it really is worth getting hold of. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💙📚 #booksky #books - ThreadSky

A most interesting little history I picked up last week that examines the long held view that before modern mountaineering began the mountains were largely reviled or ignored and finds it to be just not true. A fine work which makes it's case very well.

Carlo Rovelli is amongst the best writers on science around and the fact he produces such superb work writing in his second language is astonishing. Here we get a wonderfully concise history of how science works, starting from the eponymous Greek 6th Century BCE philosopher.

First fiction read for February is the latest (and my own first) from Italian author Paolo Giordano. After losing the future he imagined for himself, a writer sets out in search of connection and purpose at a tipping point in both his life and in the world itself. Excellent.

Breakfast reading for the last week or two has been this wonderful collection of reviews and essays from the late Hilary Mantel. Thoroughly recommended.

Today was largely spent on this, another masterful Montana tale from a writer I place up with America's best. He somehow evokes a strange mix of Larry McMurtry, Denis Johnson and even a touch of Cormac McCarthy at times but the result is a style entirely his own.

An interesting and entertaining portrait of the extraordinary collection of artists and their families that lived, worked and played on the Cape Cod peninsula around Provincetown, Wellsfleet and Truro through much of the 20th century. Some blurb in the alt text for more.
