Neil MacGregor, Living With The Gods

A very enjoyable romp through the entire history of mankind and our belief in the supernatural/religious belief. MacGregor uses his experience at the British Museum to draw parallels between artefacts from different times and cultures to illustrate human beliefs - the need for security, for inspiration, to control society, etc. On the home from, have managed to put back on all the weight I lost last year and am back above 95Kg again, only this time with a Captain Haddock beard. Have resolved to run 500 miles over the year, and am really enjoying running at the moment although my left ankle may disagree. My normal running routs is diverted due to the new bridge over the canal, so i'm combining picking up geocaches and running. Manged 7 miles yesterday while Fred was swimming - Park-Send-Pyrford-Park along the Wey without getting lost or overly muddy
