Still In Tiers

This will probably be my last blog post this year. Most of my writing is now on Vocal and I use this mainly to document my reading. I may do a New Year's Eve and New Year's Day post to finish off the year.

I am still reading World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer and It has many similarities with the Riverworld series though no historical figures. Essential Gods create these Tiers which reflect epochs in Earth's history, in a different dimension. The book is big and the text small so I think I will be some time on this one, though I eventually slipped into this universe and now I want to know where it goes.

Very little is familiar to me barring the concept and one of the characters.

I recently found out that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not others. C'est La Vie.

The music is "Spirit of Dance" by Greenslade from "Spyglass Guest"

Here In Catalonia

 I am currently reading George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia" and am shocked how I have drifted into it , ensnared by Orwell's excellent writing. It's about the Spanish Civil War and everything about this book says a big no to me. Boring ,  1930s War commentary about something that I have no interest in at all.

Then I opened the book.

The text was huge almost unparagraphed slabs , only 250 pages but I wasn't going to get through this. 90 pages later and it is a truly excellent read . It brings out the total boredom of war and just as you are getting as numb as Orwell was the bombs drop , the bullets fly , the lack of resources , the dirt and filth , you are in it.

And it is very readable , I am just surprised how good it is , maybe it is just me.

So to go with it I've included Greenslade's "Catalan" from "Time and Tide".

One of the good things about posting on my own blog is there are no limitations or quality control (as you may have noticed , but you can check out my Vocal writing here , which is subject to quality control.
