Too much politics/economy/hassle/monkey business for me to be involved in at present,so I turn to my fave book: Timeless Simplicity,Creative living in a consumer society. by John Lane . Totally good bloke,big cheese in the Schumacher / Dartington place in Devon.Hard book to get hold of now.Free if you pm me,just pass it on.It's excellent.Anyone else read it?

Don't give it away if it's your favourite! Keep it! :cheers:

(Am I spectacularly missing the point of the simple philosophy? :wink: ).

Doubt it,I've never seen it even in 'alternative' bookshops,,I got it from the NCAT 6 years ago.It's not the holy grail,but just comforting in a sort of Quakerish way.

I found it on Amazon last night. There's a Look Inside feature and you can read the first and last bits - it's wonderful!
