Woldsgreen (Plymouth)

Hi, having recently retired I find myself reading significantly more. Mostly journals and digital news but given the volatile state of the nation over these last 10 years I started to dust down books I read and studied in the 70’s, 80’s. From religious/spiritual concepts of archetypes and Godheads through the continuum to Existentialism and Nihilism. Plus books about individual journeys, both fiction and non fiction, Renaissance and Reformation art and political movements and …. In a nutshell - the human condition. Looking to join a club that is friendly, curious and enjoys intelligent sharing of thoughts and insights. One that explores, not imposes, the warnings and messages in an Orwellian novel. Hope that makes sense.

Sons and Lovers

by DH Lawrence | Buy this book

It’s a powerful autobiography about love and identity set just before the First World War in a Nottinghamshire pit village. The author’s deep, powerful and often destructive maternal bond both clashes and amplifies his relationship with two women. It also explored concepts of political class, industrialisation, social norms and discovery of self. I first read/discovered this through English Lit O Level at my grammar school in Plymouth.

My genres tend to change every so often but as of now, I am very interested in mysteries, I especially like when enemies or rivals have to work together because one insists on getting involved. Even so, I like fantasy, especially the cosy type, and horror, mostly ghost stories. Also wlw books, I love those but never find many.
