and have you read his book Medieval lives? Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
I'm halfway through Medieval lives. Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.

On the main subject, maybe we could suggest topics that we'd like to see addressed in diaries, or there could be threads that begin with a question such as "how good are public services (postal, libraries, street cleaning, etc.) in your area?" Or "what do you think are popular misconceptions about Brits/French/Poles/etc.?" For instance, I'm stumped as to why the Germans I know have the idea that Americans read very little. But the books in Germany are SO expensive, and it seems harder to find bookstores. My husband was amazed at the number of bookstores he saw when he first came here.
Just an idea.
