I concur with my learned friend.

Fascinating review! I promptly bought the book for my e-reader...

I also enjoyed Lev Grossman's thoughts on it: levgrossman.substack.com/p/the-tiny-a...

Fantastic article by @levgrossman.com about Leonard Woolf sharing a cottage with B.J. Dutton in Ceylon back in the day, and how they embodied the two great genres of Modernism and Fantasy... Loved it! www.thebeliever.net/the-death-of...

The was the most talk about faith I have seen in a film for 20 years. I was amazed and pleased. And I hate religion

The Tombstone novel is beautifully illustrated by @artgroves.bsky.social, so it's worth it for that, tbh! 💙

Q for #Arthurian folk: I remember reading in #Malory about a Queen riding by in the distance, with her armoured women knights, heading for Camelot to joust with the men in a tournament. But I can't find it anywhere, and begin to wonder if I wasn't dreaming... Can anyone help with a reference? ⚔️

Fucken brilliant, said the goat. And I agreed: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I worked fulltime in demanding jobs (HR then tech writing), but that enabled me to accumulate enough super so I could retire at 55. I live on my pension now.

One last visit to The Bookshop Darlinghurst to see my book buddy Noel. It's been an awesome few decades! I'll miss you all so much. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💙 Smiles and sadness...

Anyway I think part of why Master and Commander is so great (on top of the source material and the casting) is that even though Weir was shooting an action movie, he wasn’t afraid to leave a lot of languid “hey, doesn’t this just *look*cool?” moments in it

Excellent (and sadly true) article by the erudite Michael Winkler @micwink.bsky.social in WAtoday. The only solution I've found so far is for authors to celebrate themselves and each other. My friends, we all deserve it. 💙 www.watoday.com.au/culture/book...
