1600km shoe review – Saucony Endorphin Speed 3
I have run the arse off these things over the last 16 months. They have been pounded around the streets of istanbul, the length and breadth of athens, and up and down the seafront at brighton, and probably still have a few kms left in them if I kept gluing them back together. -

Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese by Patrick Leigh Fermor
The second book I’ve read by traveller, black ops war hero, philhellene, 100-cigarettes-a-day smoker, and notorious brothel creeper Patrick Leigh Fermor, this time is an account of his travels around the southern Peloponnese in the 1950s, specifically, the southern bit, Mani. -

Methuselah's Children by Robert A. Heinlein
Good! Book one especially interesting, a hidden society of centuries old people and their persecution upon discovery. Book two when they all go off to space to settle with extra terrestrials is a little bit weak but some of the sci-fi ideas are well ahead of this books time (1941) -

The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
Made me want to throw my computers into the sea. My pal recommended this 1914 sci fi short story by E. M. Forster about a sad future where humans spend their lives living ‘online’ and only video chatting with people from their cells, until the ‘internet’/life support stops. -

Constantinople by Edmondo De Amicis
Written in 1877, a slightly racist/sexist italian review of the town. Surprisingly funny, what a different Istanbul he experienced. Only about two thirds through this book and returning it to the friend here in Instanbul who lent it to me. I intend to come back and finish it. -

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
My first did-not-finish of the year. I simply do not care how this book ends. Maybe it's the terrible narrator that reads every line the same. Maybe it's because I'm listening while running and I'm hating everything. Anyway, returned 2/3rds through. -
