This book definitely improved on second reading but not as good as The Fram Abandoned. #MichaelGoulder

Really unusual to read poetry about people and places I knew over 40 years ago.

Skullduggery., fraud, theft and dishonesty. The saga of some (well 1000s ) of ancient docs. If you can cope with presenter Ben Lewis much to be amazed at. Star turn Roberta Mazza, formerly of Manchester Uni. Must look up her book.

Holiday reading. OTT combative post and pre divorce dialogues. Fun though, even for philosophers who can’t see the nightshade for the berries. #AnneFine

Holiday reading. Perfect for middle aged, middle class, grammar school boys. And a great exploration of success, failure and an average life. #JulianBarnes #BookerPrize

Why do so many get so angry online? I think because we believe we are right and no one or too few are listening or agreeing with us.

From Evans’ “In defence of History”. Momigliano’s assertion of the foundation of historical research: primary and secondary sources. Still ignored by some.
