What are folk reading in lockdown. I am ploughing through Jay Griffiths' 'Wild'.
As an antidote to the tough pitch she is on - here are a few short/medium reads for lockdown time. This lot are fell-running related pieces from my blog, a couple of which were published. Hope you find something to enjoy. https://itsahill.wordpress.com/2020/...running-stuff/
I read Homo Deus. Gave me the jips.

Waiting for our local library to open, had an arm full of books before the lockdown that have been read cover to cover. We really miss the library as much as anything.
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
Better get to the bank too. Couple of quid in fines there.Originally Posted by molehill
No worries there, we don't have a bank. We did check, no fines!

Just finished reading "A Golden Age of Cycling" A Gentleman's adventure on two wheels 1924-1933 (Edited by Shaun Sewell)
Charles James Pope - what a man and what a mileage...
Finished The Runner by Markus Torgeby. Interesting and very committed, but never quite sure I liked him as a person.
Just started a Jason Elliot book about Iran (although the name escapes me). I read his book about Afghanistan (an Unexpected Light) years ago and it was beautiful. I’m hoping this will live up to it.
Also reread Into Thin Air. Pretty harrowing account of an Everest expedition gone tits up
Things have got worse , not better since krakauer wrote that book.
The queues up from the south col are a death trap.
Boukreev has a lot to answer for.
The guides should be last man down not first.
Watched the film / documentary of that Everest trip with the family a few weeks ago. My daughter is now reading the book and I will read it again when I get it back.
Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Reading Flight Behaviour by Babara Kingsolver. Excellent book as are her others.
