Castle Rackrent
By Maria Edgeworth

Read this book if: You wanted a 17th century story about a disaster fire of a noble family from the perspective of the sniveling loyal butler; with a dollop of English-Irish cultural clash.

Irish folklore is one of the richest free story engines going — banshees, fairy forts, selkies. Borrow from it without any guilt.

This sign sums up my difficulties with this account - too often I just sits and does nothing...
In other words, too much thinking, not enough action.
I've read lots of #books but haven't posted about any of them.

Looking over a hedge to a sign which says, "Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits." Beyond the sign, the ground slopes upwards and is covered with plants in autumn colours.
