I collect books. The older the better, especially bizarre ones. I love cataloging them and using my barcode scanner. And I love looking for that one particular book that I must have now.

I dislike going outside. A trip to the shops is a trip into hell itself – the loudness of the context makes me anxious. So … I don’t!

Love it!!! What else is there to say? It is perfection.

What is a sacrifice? A good surrendered for a greater good. Yes, I think I have made choices that fall into that definition. But my good may not be your good!?

TBH, I am not sure that anything gives me joy. But I enjoy a good book and a nice coffee. And, maybe some music. Again, I am not sure that is simple.

The Dude, The Big Lebowski. So funny and absurd. And an absolute style icon.

The nihilists!!!

I am wearing a red oodie that I got years ago. It makes me look a little like Father Christmas. Someone has described it as “very medieval”. Not sure about either.

Like to think of myself as a follower (of Jesus). In reality I am just me.

So a book I think is overrated? Let me make sure, I could not get into this book no matter how hard I tried. Well, only one: East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Online claims are that it is the “perfect book” (and I agree that it has merits) but I could not get through it. It simply did not connect with me.

Maybe I should try it again?

I will not say Jesus because he is a person of faith, for me, more than a person of history. But …

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781) and his ditch (der garstige breite Graben) is highly underrated. Good insight into epistemology! And into faith. Only Kierkegaard, methinks, gives an answer.

In religion, St Mary of Egypt – penitence without the institution.

And maybe me!?
