Shikasta: Re, Colonised Planet 5
Doris Lessing
Rereading The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin which I first read with enormous admiration nearly 50 years ago - can that be true? - still finding it absorbing & impressive. Influenced Doris Lessing’s Shikasta I’m sure. https://t.co/gUdMPsUq2d

The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes
Jonathan Rose
@TrevorPTweets @tomowolade @thetimes @rolandwatson66 ‘My mind clicked open’ says Tom, reminding me of The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes by Jonathan Rose, where a Northampton cow man says learning to read & reading the great books,‘was coming up from the bottom of the ocean and seeing the world for the first time’
