I was reading Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time in Ramsgate yesterday<\/p>\n
It was hot and really I was just loafing through this vast work and enjoying an ice cold Coke when an American couple sat at the table opposite me<\/p>\n
For some reason I found the woman looking at me or rather what I was reading – she then asked me what the book was as reading was one of her great passions<\/p>\n
More as a joke I told her that I was reading a book written by a German chap named Martin Heidegger and it was rather good (Heidegger like Wittgenstein amongst others is almost impossible to read)<\/p>\n
I struggle with him constantly<\/p>\n
The women whose name was Maureen wrote his name down and said that she would look him up when she returned to the USA<\/p>\n
As my train was on its way I wished Jack and Maureen a happy holiday in the UK and recommended Canterbury as a place to visit as it is a very beautiful city<\/p>\n
I must say this brief encounter brought a smile to my lips as my train crawled through the parched deserts that used to be The Garden of England<\/p>\n
Whatever would Martin have made of it I wondered – even if he cared at all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
