Those are some interesting reads, thanks for the update David! I've been mostly on a romance novel binge(/detox) of late after burning out on Bioshifter. I'll hopefully be reading some nonfiction during the last half of the month.

I had to look up Bioshifter - it drew me in (the preview) but it might be a little too intense for me. 🤔

Runciman and Kimmerer in the same video? Fantastic! Glad you read Braiding Sweetgrass. I can see how some essays are definitely stronger than others for sure. Nice vid David

Two of the best surnames together! If I had a physical copy at hand I might’ve been more clear.

Don't be such a Guelph, Dave. You opened The Sicilian Vespers and said ohmyohmyohmy. It should be prioritized not back burnered. Read it a chapter a day and share it. We deserve that much.

At least I might learn what a Guelph is. 😂
