Sports, Then And Now
Sports, then and now, have evolved significantly over time, transforming into the high-energy, highly competitive events we know today.

This sport, originally referred to as “socc,” was later adapted with the addition of “er” to describe those who played it. Since its formalization, football has grown into a global phenomenon, with millions of people…-

A Bookman’s Purgatory
A Bookman's Purgatory takes us into the life of Thomas Blinton, a man who has dedicated his existence to the pursuit of rare books. For Blinton, book-hunting is far more than a hobby; it is a pursuit of intellectual superiority, a form of elitism that he compares to other bourgeois activities like fishing or shooting, which he deems far less meaningful. Despite warnings about the potentially destructive fates of famous book-hunters, which he dismisses as mere superstition, Blinton continues to immerse…-

Chapter
A Tweedside Sketch
A Tweedside Sketch begins with an unvarnished admission of the narrator’s long-standing flaw—carelessness. It’s not born of laziness, but of a restless temperament that overlooks the small things. While such oversight might seem harmless in the moment, it builds a habit that eventually touches every part of life, even something as seemingly peaceful as fishing. As the narrator prepares for a salmon-fishing trip on the River Tweed, this trait resurfaces, leading to yet another avoidable misadventure.…-

Chapter 20 – “The Treadmill”
Chapter 20 – "The Treadmill" begins with the weary voice of a woman crushed beneath the weight of her daily obligations. Her letter outlines a life dictated by endless engagements—sporting events, committee meetings, fundraising luncheons, music lessons, and obligatory dinners—all leaving no space for reflection, rest, or even a moment with a book. Her schedule, far from being leisurely or fulfilling, reads more like the itinerary of a public figure than that of a private individual. This exhausting…-
