  1. 24 Hours in Ancient Rome turned out to be surprisingly good. It's not really a narrative, though the author kind of tries to cobble together a loose one. It's basically letting you into the lives of 24 different people from different classes, wealth, and professions and, using lots of ancient sources (which are often quoted extensively), creating a narrative for them. It's almost like 24 History Channel documentary-dramas, but you don't have to worry about the bad acting and bad set design, and bad special effects.
  2. As long as Alex writes and performs the songs with him, I agree.
  3. Chapters 35 and 36 are the "new" songs in the Audible book.
  4. Neither did I, but... https://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2023/11/11/6004/Geddy-Lee-to-release-2-NEW-songs-Tuesday-as-part-of-the-My-Effin-Life-audiobook-release-and-as-a-precursor-to-a-planned-solo-project-next-year
  5. Are these songs included with the Audible version of the book?
  6. So, Permanent Waves was a 70s album after all? Who knew?
  7. The Body Electric The Twilight Zone
  8. I have now started The Picture of Dorian Gray, Yeonmi Park's While Time Remains, and 24 Hours in Ancient Rome. The last has not been as interesting as I expected being a lover of ancient history, but I'm still very early in all three.
  9. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was very interesting, especially for its view on morality and how to (not) exercise it. I know it's over a hundred years old, but the fact that it's such an ingrained part of culture and I knew the twist, much of the first half of the novella loses its appeal. Still, a great read.
  10. I finished Dracula and loved it. It was much better than what I expected. Now I'm on to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
  11. While I am interested in reading this, will 12 year olds?
  12. A Passage to Bangkok The Larger Bowl
