Rumer GoddenMike RobbinsRumer Godden was one of the most successful novelists of her time. Several of her books, including Black Narcissus, became films. But some of her best work is not fiction. Her memoirs of India are drenched with light and colour. https://t.co/5ytzXs9F9u #India #BooksWorthReading https://t.co/BS4uXuXkhV

The Life of Reason
George SantayanaMike Robbins@sajidjavid This is the sort of language the Heath government used about strikers before the February 1974 election. It turned out the voters didn't feel quite the same. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

Early To Bed And Early To Rise Makes A Man Healthy: Picture Books for Early Readers and Beginning Readers: Proverbs for Preschoolers
Melissa JavellanaMike Robbins@Jo_Higson Yep. This strikes a chord. To misquote Benjamin Franklin a little, early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and a pain in the neck.

Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) ACT 1992
The Law LibraryMike Robbins@danbloom1 Yep. There are strict rules on how a union should ballot it members and on what that vote entitles them to do in terms of ongoing action. Damian Green can find all this quite easily, if he can be bothered; it's in the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.

The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy
Michael LewisMike Robbins@banie01 @newpaulhearn @RAEngNews Possibly. But some of my doubts arise from Tainter's ideas about societies losing their complexity, and their problem-solving skills, over time. I've also been struck by Michael Lewis's recent book, The Fifth Risk.
