I like Robb. I think the Paris book is a follow up to one on France. Obviously his literary biogs on French heavyweight figures are very readable. He’s gone a bit odd with a long book on ancient roads/ways/ley line kind of things in Europe which even I had to put down.

The Singing Neanderthals - The Origins of Music, Language, Mind and Body by Steve Mithen

Been sat at work mini-library for too long, skim reading the indexes wasnt enough

Even for hominids and our collective journeys, a transcendent bit of interpretation. Needs a new edition but would be intriguing to see what the more musically persuaded among you get from it. I especially enjoyed an evolutionary angle expanded so fully, how universal childhood mindsets are within our species, inspiration, bonding/incorporation/exclusion, trance states and the closest to mining what we understand by the contentious word ‘groove’

Mildly intoxicated, just finished Keynes General Theory after two months and ~70 pages of notes, and I plan on publishing my annotated version of the text in markdown on IPFS, for the millennial convenience of my future biographers.
