NORTHERN PLANNER

I read some really good fiction books last week, which were the first in ages. And it was such a relief.

Don’t get me wrong, for the last six months I’ve read some really interesting, sometimes inspiring non-fiction books, but sometimes you need to just enjoy a really good story, or something that makes you FEEL.

Not to mention being able to switch off and enter another world.

The Steep Approach to Gabardale by Iain Banks is one those good stories, while Miranda July’s No One Belongs Here More Than You is a collection of short stories about moments that change everything – sometimes moving, sometimes profound, it’s definately something that wakes up the emotions. The website’s pretty good too.

Note to self – more fiction in future. I think I’ll put together a reading list, there’s tons I’ve missed.
