VOYAGING THROUGH BOOKS: December 2010
http://bookvoyaging.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 December 2010. A blot on the landscape? Leaving behind a world of class divisions and clever caricatures, we crossed the boundary of the worlds and entered the fantasy land of Inkheart. Saturday, 18 December 2010. In quest of Russian souls. We’ll see how that goes. Taking up from where we left off for now, we left the wilds of the Deep South and crossed to rural Russia, where we followed Chichikov, a 19. Century Russian social climber in his pursuit of serfs – dead serfs to be precise. It is m...

VOYAGING THROUGH BOOKS: A long time gone
http://bookvoyaging.blogspot.com/2008/11/long-time-gone.html
Wednesday, 26 November 2008. A long time gone. 160;has provided delightful soothing reading. On which note, it is time to stop logging (or blogging) on books and travelling through the world wide web and instead to pedal my way back to a freezing Victorian townhouse that seems to have travelled back into the past. It certainly has not grasped that there are such modern luxuries as efficient heating or insulation! That said there is nothing to stop one nestling down there with a good book. A long time gone.

VOYAGING THROUGH BOOKS: A return to reading
http://bookvoyaging.blogspot.com/2010/04/return-to-reading.html
Saturday, 24 April 2010. A return to reading. Well it has been so long since I updated this that I thought I would start again simply with a list of the books Cosimo and I have read over the last couple of years and then just give a few ponderings to get this voyage on the road again (if indeed you do voyage by road) . Cakes and Ale (W. Somerset Maugham). The Scarlet Letter (Nathaniel Hawthorne). Leave it to Psmith (P.G. Wodehouse). Hard Times (Andy McNab . ok, maybe not. Charles Dickens, perhaps). From ...

VOYAGING THROUGH BOOKS: February 2009
http://bookvoyaging.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 February 2009. Back from the brink. In the last wee while we have continued plodding our way through the Americas with Clendinnen, Hemming, Townsend and co, reducing the once proud civilizations of the Aztecs, Incas and Mayas to rubble, following the Spanish as they trecked through the jungles of the Yucatan and up into the high Andes. We also took a foray away from the New World with the Jesuits to Japan. . For the purpose. . The cruelty that human can inflict on human seems to have been rath...

Tuesday, 18 August 2009. A year in books - or at least the beginning thereof. I was surprised to enjoy the Scarlet Letter as well. In some ways, it reminded my of Tess of the DUrbervilles. 18 August 2009 at 17:51. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Is this Blog Going Down the Pan? Life, universe and everything.

VOYAGING THROUGH BOOKS: back to the web
http://bookvoyaging.blogspot.com/2008/12/back-to-web.html
Monday, 15 December 2008. Back to the web. Now here is a querry? Would you not have thought that setting off on a train from Birmingham to London at 9:30am one would be perfectly safe for two pm carol singing? Would you not have been absolutely certain that one should be able to arrive for a 6pm opera? What amazed me was how muted the protest was. There was definite muttering, but it did not even reach the level of disbelief whereas I was sitting there thinking in what other country could this happen?

VOYAGING THROUGH BOOKS: In quest of Russian souls
http://bookvoyaging.blogspot.com/2010/12/in-quest-of-russian-souls.html
Saturday, 18 December 2010. In quest of Russian souls. This blog has already come back from the brink once, now it’s had a near death experience – but it’s undergoing a resurrection. Fortunately our reading has not been going as slowly as our blogging – but we’re now testing out a new rule: not to start a new book until we’ve blogged the last one. We’ll see how that goes. Century Russian social climber in his pursuit of serfs – dead serfs to be precise. Gogol’s Dead Souls. Also, his message about the fla...
