Had anyone mentioned Martin Tyler’s heavy breathing? I have the game on without crowd noise and it is all I can hear. It’s like a horror film ffs.

Stumbled across this bloke about 2 weeks ago after hearing about him a while ago. Started doing his breathing technique last weekend from YouTube and I really would recommend it. In short, through breathing, exposure to cold and his mindset he has scientifically proven to be able to regulate his own body temperature, fight off infection and inflammation that causes things like Asthma and has broken loads of world records.

You don’t happen to live next door to Unabomber do you ?

Search Wim Hof breathing technique on YouTube, lay down and follow what he’s doing to the book.

Enjoyed this, fascinating stuff. Koestler traces the history of cosmology from the ancient greeks through to Newton. 

 

Epicycle upon epicycle, although he spends a lot of time exploring the rabbit holes the proponents of varying systems found themselves down.

 

He additionally presents a brief biography of each protagonist and outlines the political, cultural & intellectual climates that the likes of Copernicus, Kepler, Tycho & Galileo navigated.

Been reading this for best part of a year, on and off.  His books on the war are always very good.

What's not to like .... the word 'discombobulation' is scattered throughout the text!

 

And it inspired an array of new vinyl purchases.

All about our intuition and energy and the link to our physical ailments. 

 

Love this kind of stuff...

Anyone into detective fiction style books needs to read JD Kirk’s DCI Logan series. Absolutely brilliant I am smashing through them on the kindle.

Thursday Murder Club. 

I don't want to be too critical because it's a debut novel but it was a bit twee for my liking. 

Crap plot with a few Joyce Grenfel type lines thrown in. 5/10

I'd recommend The Appeal by Janice Hallett, I've read both this year and found that to be a much better version of the two.

 

I'm now up to book 44 for the year after being awful at finding the time to read since leaving Uni.

 

Shuggie Bain, Tin Man, The Appeal, and To Kill a Mockingbird have been standouts. Hamnet was a disappointment; didn't get the hype behind that whatsoever but I seem to be in the minority based on the endless 5* reviews.
