When I asked people on my FB "fan" page to suggest to me topics to write about next, some of the suggestions were very intriguing. They included: - philosophical explorations of the meanings of various Celtic mythologies.

The move to the new house in Hamilton is pretty well done now. I'm on Bay street, south of downtown, a stone's throw from the GO Transit station and the hospital. Not much to say about the move, ...

Everything I own is packed up in cardboard boxes, or blue recycling bins, or garbage bags, and sitting in the dining room. Today Dad and I disassembled all my furniture and stacked it up downstairs.

I packed up all my books into boxes today. They are down in the dining room, ready to be moved to the new place. I've got seven blue recycling bins (five borrowed from the local post office!) with most of them; the others are in flat boxes from the farmer's market.

Facebook sucks for blogging, but it's a nice place to connect with people. IMOHO, of course!

Today, I'm experimenting with importing posts from my Livejournal to the "Notes" section of this FB page. It seems to be working out, although it also seems to be posting each LJ entry twice. As I receive reviews of OSV and other books to be published this year, I'll post them to the "Reviews" section - which is also open, for anyone to contribute to.

Cheers,
Bren

Thanks Karen and Tamarra. I will certainly think seriously about both suggestions. And I invite more suggestions from others too. :-)

What should my "next" book be about?

The Other Side of Virtue
by Brynneth at 4:47am on April 4th, 2008
I was really impressed with this book, having had an advance copy to review for The Druid Network. It's a fascinating exploration of virtue - how ideas of it change over time, how it relates to self development and living well.

I really appreciated getting to read an accessible modern philosophy book that actualy related to my own beliefs. I thought this was a very well written book, full of provocative ideas. There are thoughts I have taken away to consider that are affecting how I relate to myself and my life - reading 'The Other Side of Virtue' has had a significant impact on me.

While its not an overtly Druidy book, it is a book that Druid Philosophers really should read. Highly recomended.
