Reading; finished and took back Jane R Goodall, The Visitor and Samsara and am now reading Kate Grenville (The Secret River, which i hoped was the one it is, 2005, because it was reviewed as capturing the silence of the beautiful bush that once must have reverberated with the sounds of people living in it) and Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber (When They Severed the Earth from the Sky).

Goodall's book put me - or kept me - in a good mood for reading. It reminded me of a popular forensics mystery writer, and dan brown's way of zooming the plot along at a racing pace. The magicky bits in it went well with the psychic book, in the description of claire's psychic-ness - and vulnerability - also different and successful forms of bonding, friendships, partnerships - as well as recognitions within them of things going wrong.

So far both these books are enthralling - with the myths one, two pages in and i'm wanting to make notes - why boch that in with those examples, it's different - i think that's when the three kings fought dragons - meaning that there would have been some hair-raising animals in that 100,000 years they say we've had the same brain power. Hmm, but 2 pages in i better not make assumptions!

the river - yeah, the only other thing i've read - not successfully - by kate grenville is the how-to-write book - maybe i should try to find it and read it with save the cat while i'm in the mood! lol. How cute, his wife and children getting transported with him due to kindly words to stop him being hung for stealing brazil wood.

i sat down - well, lied - [lay] - to think about how the 'guides' the psychic describe could best help my teeth! ... and instead read.
