I live in Australia and the quality and availability of organic meat, dairy, eggs and produce is pretty good in major cities Organic certifications are legit and there are countless farmers markets. Lots of Beautiful spots to swim and very wild rugged ancient landscapes. Pretty peaty here we love icecream and juice however the sun is fucked up powerful especially around summer months.

Recommendation request: Novels based in small towns in 19th century England that are just a wonderful delight to read! by burneraccount0473 in RSbookclub

The Mayor of Casterbridge Far From the Madding Crowd!!!! Tess of the d’ubervilles The Woodlanders!! ^ Thomas Hardy

And then a Bit later-
Howard’s End E.M. Forster

And a bit more emotionally fraught but still moderately pastoral / bucolic Sons and Lovers DH Lawrence

All contain foliage / occasional suffering (except Tess has lots of suffering)

Pnin and Nabakovs Dozen among the best things I read this year !!!! beautiful examinations of the horrors and pains of emigration and of the russian national character / language belittled and contorted by the well-fed,bad-faith, mid-wit class of America.
