Hey

Hey,

I'm having a wonderful time listening to The Fall of Rome podcast hosted by Patrick Wyman. He takes modern thinking on this period of history and really brings a nuanced, enlightening and entertaining take on this not-too-well-understood-but-important period of history. There's only five episodes outstanding so it's easy to jump on-board now. Well worth checking out if you want some history lessons on your commute.

Hey

Hey,

So the Craft Sequence series by Max Gladstone has been top-notch, but his latest book Four Roads Cross just hit it out of the park. It's also the first book in the series that's a direct sequel (of the first book Three Parts Dead_) and suffers a bit if you haven't read the previous book. Still, you won't be unhappy to read that first book and it's well worth it for how freakin' good the follow-up is. I was reading passages aloud to people around me every few pages. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
