Something for Saturdays (9/365)

The trouble with trying to keep up daily posting is that on Saturdays, I spend very little time at my computer, and writing long posts on my phone is much more difficult. So I think I might make Saturdays a discussion post instead.

To start with, how about a recommendation post? What have you been enjoying lately? What do you think deserves a wider audience? Books, films, TV, anything.

It was her partner who insisted on adding Lourdes to the route, so that might influence the tone? It's very near the start, so I was more inclined to abandon the book than if I had invested a significant amount of time.

And to be fair, I'm a Catholicly-inclined Christian and I suspect Lourdes would freak me out.

Hm, possibly. And I can see Lourdes having that effect, especially if you didn't want to go there in the first place (I'm only less dubious about it than I am because I was at theological college with a not very Catholicly inclined colleague whose son had bad cerebral palsy and is non-verbal and paraplegic, and the whole family found their annual trip to Lourdes a wonderfully helpful experience.
