A beautiful book by an artist and photographer about the indigenous ( not sure if this is the right term) dress
of past traditions in the Netherlands .
The indigenous clothing traditions of the Netherlands are rapidly dissapearing, so this book attempts to preserve them.

Currently bouncing between these two, both have been fantastic and funny:
I’ve always enjoyed David Sedaris’ TV and radio interviews, and I’m absolutely head over heels with his sister Amy, but after reading that book, I realized I’d never want to meet them or any of their family. They came across as completely self-involved and really rather cruel people. I read the book and promptly donated it to the local library.

How to Break Up With your Phone by Catherine Price.
I’ve finished the first half of the book, which details how smartphones are affecting our brains and why it’s a good idea to break up with your phone. I’m now onto the actual 30 day breakup plan. I’m a bit nervous to do this part, because as they say, breaking up is hard to do.
You’re welcome for the earworm.

The books I read are historical, documentary, or instructional in nature. I enjoy learning, building, and creating things, so that is what interests me. Some past examples have been books on traditional bow building and hunting (of which I've built 150+ and have used to take nearly 20 deer, a couple of javelinas, and countless small game);
Other examples are books on building 18th century powder horns, possibles bags, and similar things of historical nature (again, which I've referenced to build many things);

Presently, I'm perusing a couple of traditional Greenland qajaq references, which are quite in depth, while contemplating my next skin-on-frame qajaq build. I enjoy paddling and rolling these things all year long, while wearing a drysuit and tuilik in the winter months, as long as the water isn't frozen.
