Boeken over steden en/of regio's
Liefst (spannende) romans
Als ze spelen op of rond Hadrian's wall zou dat nog beter zijn.
Ik wil me alvast inlezen voor de volgende vakantie...
Een leuke roman over Hadrianus zou ook niet gek zijn.

Vur 's opoe nog 'n pèkske noga'ne Kenèèlsteel vur ons Trees
Ons Toontje jengelt om 'nen bukkem
En nog 'nen ijsco vur 'ze Kees.
Tilburgse Koerier; ongedateerd knipsel (ca. 1970)

Lucian Freud
1922-2011
'I paint people', Freud has said, 'not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be'.

Book rescue turns nightmarish (from CBC News)
What would Google do?
What began as a book rescue mission has become a literary nightmare for a Pike Lake, Sask., woman.
Shaunna Raycraft took over a collection of 350,000 books when a neighbour threatened to burn them after her collector husband passed away.
But now Raycraft and her own husband don't know what to do with all the books and are forced to contemplate burning some books themselves.
Floor to ceiling books
Raycraft said she was amazed when she first set eyes on the massive collection kept by their neighbours on a nearby acreage. "There was a house floor-to-ceiling with books," said Raycraft. "He was the collector; she had tried to get someone to appraise the books but they wouldn't come out to the rural setting."
"She didn't know how to deal with them so she started to burn them," Raycraft explained.
Book lovers
But the Raycrafts are book lovers and couldn't stand the sight of them being destroyed. Some of the books appear to be old and quite rare. "There was a first edition copy of Black Beauty on the top pile and the bottom was all charred off [from being burned] but the top was just immaculate," she said.
So Raycraft and her husband plunged in and took over the collection, bringing a small house onto their property to accommodate all the books. They piled box after box of books into the house.
"We're talking 30 tonnes of books. The weight of the books is pulling the house apart."

#23ddd

Samen de resultaten van onze 23 dingen cursussen bespreken was een goed idee.
Hans van Driel, Barry Spooren. Eva Simon en Luc Pruijn hadden geweldig bevlogen verhalen.
Veel andere sprekers spraken over nuttige en vooral praktische toepassingen van de cursus.
Het was wel veel luisteren, volgend jaar misschien een 23 dingen doe dag in plaats van deel-dag ;)

Al deze mensen zijn via twitter bij elkaar gekomen door de fantastische documentaire serie van vorig jaar op Nederland 2 Beagle; in het kielzog van Darwin
Doordat er na de uitzending live met het schip contact was via twitter is een groepje 'fans' ontstaan. Donderdagavond zijn we met een groot deel van die mensen bij elkaar geweest op de première van Natural Selection.
Een geweldig leuke avond, met een heel gemèleerde groep mensen uit het hele land.
Mensen twijfelen vaak over het nut van de social media maar ik weet zeker dat er zonder twitter dit soort leuke initiaieven niet van de grond waren gekomen.
