a travel essay entitled "Book cafe in Europe" by Goo Hyun-jung.
I love going to book cafes and reading about book cafes is fun. I actually bought the book at a book cafe.
Rupert Sheldrake, "Morphic Resonance". I bought it because it wasn't in the library, but also because I wanted to have the digital version handy so I could reference it and mark it up.
What I hope to understand from reading this is what is more likely putting constraints on us. The previous likely candidates, quantum particles and selfish genes, only go so far and, as far as I can see, don't explain anything of real importance. He offers the idea of morphic fields which is appealing because it is field based rather than particle based.

I bought The Rebel by Camus, because I am studying Revolutions as one of my modules.

You were what the wind was making with illuminated leaves.
ah, I can say nothing! You were made of everything.
