Anyway, about to reread Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré.
Looking for a lighthearted swords-and-sorcery book along the lines of “Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser starring Gwendoline Christie and Maisie Williams”.
Finished reading The Orphan Tsunami of 1700, finally. I’d put it down for a while, but the subject and presentation are like catnip to me: a popular explanation of the 1700 tsunami with the meticulousness and rigor of an academic paper. (It’s available as a PDF for free if you’d like.)
The dude is reading, and delighting in, The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.
I keep thinking about Ursula K. Le Guin’s Always Coming Home as our modern economic system staggers.
Currently reading The Orphan Tsunami of 1700: Japanese Clues to a Parent Earthquake in North America by Atwater, Musumi-Rokkaku, Satake, Tsuji, Ueda, and Yamaguchi.
