And a great start with the lass from Israel coming out to a song where the chorus is “I don’t care”.

Astonishing.

People are absolutely polarized on whether they loved or hated this 2023 Booker Prize winner. I loved it, but I listened to the excellently performed audiobook, so I was spared the criticisms of excessively lengthy paragraphs and non-obvious dialogue demarcations.

As for the story, the slide into a totalitarian state and the heart-wrenching repercussions for an ordinary family ensnared in the fallout is really well done. It is brutal.

@mlawton it is in my Audiobook library but I don’t want to listen to it before I go to sleep.

Still giggling about the family groups of humans and alpacas I saw in a Dutch city today. Alpacas are just so perfect with their big flooffy hair and their big flooffy bums and their big chocolate eyes. Families, not so much.

Seriously good loot. Two manga siblings who draw Kafka stories. And illustrations to a “word artist” whose songs in Dutch were… word art, i suppose.

I can’t believe I finally finished the Messages From An Ancient Era quest in #Zelda. I’ve been working on this one for months, bit by bit. Finally turned my attention to it and checked it off.

Wish I knew how many more quests were left to do. Only 4 active at the moment, including the 2 mains left. GETTING CLOSE!

greenleejw, to history

In medieval London, everyone from kings to peasants ate eels. But by the 19th C eels had largely become a street food.

In 1851, London imported 9.8 million live eels per year (mostly from Holland). 70% went to street vendors selling hot buttered eels in poorer parts of the city.

@greenleejw these things are useful to know.

@ClaireFromClare @greenleejw @histodons smoked eel is now a very pricy delicacy in my country, the Netherlands. (20 years ago it was “just” pricy). Don’t know when that changed, but I’m no eel historian.

I have a collection of book series on my to-read list, some of which I've been keen to finish (or re-read) for a long time, including Discworld, Dune, Foundation and The Wheel of Time:

Is anyone else reading a good book series at the moment, or has one that means a lot to them?

@pwaring Joe Abercrombie’s First Law books and the subsequent Age of Madness trilogy. “Lord Grimdark” blends love terror adventure and humour in an amazing way. The narrator of the audio books is one of the best IMO.
