Yes . Healing and old age ....i like the sound of the Lumumba Plot , its a story that has fascinated me for a long time . And The Poisonwood Bible is set around this period .. and after all settled they ended up with Mobutu ...😮

Weirdly, Mobotu comes off as one of the less wacky characters in this account.

Slowly but surely. Thanks. Turns out I broke one of those fragile wrist bones but it’s gradually getting better.

Really sorry to hear your bike accident injuries are still plaguing you! Really interesting though to listen to your thoughts on both books, you are so extremely good at summarising and narrating the interesting stuff in books in such an engaging way that even though you were not absolutely loving the Lumumba Plot, yourself, the way you talked about it still got me super excited to read it. Even a bit curious about Sigrid Nunez which I have not been before.. It was a very comforting 15 min last night, listening to your video and knitting, as always, so thank you ❣

If you haven't read Nunez before, I liked The Friend even more than The Vulnerables, and they're both very quick reads. I actually went for a short ride yesterday afternoon. Everything still hurts a little bit and my ribs ached all last night so maybe I'm not ready yet, but it still felt great to get some sun and sweat a little bit. 💗

@@Robert.Sheard Noted on The Friend. And lovely to hear you got to do a bit of biking in the sun already, although hopefully this won't jeopardise your recovery, so hope you rest well too ❤

Hope you're feeling better soon Robert. I've been looking to get to the Sigrid Nunez as I also loved The Friend. The non fiction also sounds like an interesting read.

With your history reading, I can see this one working for you.

I was curious what this one was about. Gotta love a history book where every man with a minor bit part has to be mentioned.
