Well I mentioned that my vice is reading crime thrillers to a friend who is a book snob and heard her snort with derision before regaining her composure.

What's the post-apocalyptic series? Sounds interesting. I love dystopian futuristic sci-fi like the Wool series or divergent. Always on the look out for more.

I'm attempting to get a solid background with regard to social changes during the 20th century to now.

So much info on the internet though - videos and free books etc should you care to look hard enough.

Just finished reading Almonds and Raisins by Maisie Mosco. It's about Jewish immigrants arriving from Russia to Strangeways, Manchester in 1905 and how their lives progress from that time. There are other books in this series which I will now be on the lookout for. A fascinating story.

I've now come to the conclusion the world is just one cauldron of corruption where power resides in those with money. Part of this conclusion is that as I can't beat them I may as well try and join them using their own cunning to make some dosh.

If you buy gold and silver from the usual dealers, then you are paying premium prices. Same when you sell, you sell at the dealers price offered.
There would have to be a big increase in the value to make a profit.

Indeed - and fascinating it all is. I will be applying myself to unraveling the complexities of it all from here on in .

Re: What book are you reading now?

My late husband and I bought some second hand gold jewellery at a weekly market because Mum has been burgled and I was looking for replacements.

I seem to have a good eye for quality and we bought a few gold rings (with stones) which have increased in value.
