Voracious reader, Central Asian history, history, fibre arts, gardening, tomato breeding, cats, dogs, and assorted other things I enjoy. Just someone that wants to understand the world and most of the people in it.

I thought I was the only one that has been frustrated with them. I suspect, sadly, that private equity will strike again and we won't have any bookstores in most places

I didn't think there would ever be a day I would block Washington Post journalists for trash tier journalism (like Fox), but today is a first. Not interested in recycled fox news anti public health messaging

I recently started a book by John Wiswell titled "Someone to build a nest in". It is surprisingly wholesome and adorable. A+ . Can't wait for his next book

I just finished " My Heart is a Chainsaw" and it is awful. Has the author ever talked to a woman before? Has he ever talked to a member of the Blackfoot tribe before?

I have felt ambivalent about posting here but I will give it a go. Anyway, I used to post a lot about books I read or want to read on other platforms so I will start with that here. My recent reads are: 1) Ray Nagler - Tusks of Extinction 2) Ray Nagler- The Mountain in the Sea
