Goodness me, where does the time go?
I've been a busy little bee since I last posted. First up, let's talk books...
I read Leo Hickman's 'A Life Stripped Bare' recently. As a writer for the Guardian, he was challenged to live 'ethically' for a year. This book candidly describes his ethical journey and I was surprised at the realistic vigour with which he embraced all avenues of his new life, ranging from a holiday by train (with a baby) to buying a wormery.
His trials and tribulations were recreated with verve for the reader often through a combination of honest humour and soul-bearing- it even brought a tiny tear to my eye at one point. As it made all but the most extreme acts of an ethical life acheivable without preaching or (too many) boring stats, I would say this is the perfect book for those starting out on their 'ethical journey' (urgh).
