(no subject)

"Earth Magic" by Francis Hitching is also getting weeded out of my library.
Don't think I've ever read it. Tried to today but got bored real quick. It reckons it will be half about archaeology and half about the people who think visions and dowsing and ley lines are an interesting guide to prehistory. It also seems dead impressed with the fact you can draw straight lines on a map and make triangles.

I figure the archaeology will be out of date, and the ley line stuff will stay as subjective and belief driven as ever.
Earlier me collected stuff in the expectation bits of it would be proven, or be disproved, eventually.
But a lot of it turns out to not be that kind of stuff.

Bored.

I thought this would be fiction from your description but then went and checked and very not. Heh.

[beccaelizabeth]

yeah, I mean, it thinks it's non fiction, and it tries, but...

[baronjanus]

your summary could lead to a really nice fiction, too. with archaeology and visions and dowsing and ley lines.

[beccaelizabeth]

yeah, with some characters and a plot it do sound interesting

[baronjanus]

both as original
and as fanfic in hl or buffy... probably a lot of others
