The sound of drilling in close proximity to my head this morning encouraged me to take a break from e-business. The snapping of whipcords propelled this diarist to local bookshops via an internet cafĂ & reading time over two cappucini. Current main reading: "The Intelligent Enneagram" by AGE Blake. Each page has compressed information in readable form; this leads to the simple error that I believe myself to understand what Blake has put into concise words. Then to next door: the Caledonia secondhand bookshop & place of wonderment.
Two volumes selected - "Feminism, Feminity & Popular Culture" by Joanne Hollows (Manchester UP, 2000) & "After Progress: Finding The Old Way Forward" by Anthony O'Hear (Bloomsbury, 1999) - I proffered my credit card.
Bookseller: R. Fripp. There's a musician by that name. Robert Fripp.
RF: That's someone else.
Bookseller: (With conviction) I know.
