Hello, hello. Nothing to see here. Just me, popping by on October 19th to deliver my September Culture Wrap Up. You nearly got it a couple of days ago but as this delightful website opted to delete the post I wrote yesterday, we’ve now surpassed the halfway-through-October-mark. However, I do think it was worth the wait as September was a classy as heck month for culture for me and I have lots to tell you about.

This month was a delightful one for reading. I found myself constantly engrossed in a one book or another and ended the month with my nose still in about three different novels!

Mark Watson is, in my opinion, one of the sharpest, funniest and most articulate artists out there.

Malcolm Gladwell is one of my favourite 'smart thinkers'. I love the way that he takes a seemingly insurmountably complicated issue and breaks it down into digestible facts and figures without oversimplifying.
