    1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann My rating: 4 of 5 stars Fantastic overview of the period. Lots of fun facts and social justice corrections to historical truths I learned as a kid. The stuff on South America was super great & I knew little. Always like learning about…

  • Madness of Crowds by Douglas Murray

    The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity by Douglas Murray My rating: 4 of 5 stars Lisa and I read this on Sunday mornings during 2020.

  • Tarnsman of Gor

    Tarnsman of Gor by John Norman My rating: 1 of 5 stars This is a legendary Fantasy book. The world building is ok. The writing is overly descriptive, repetitive, and dry. Plot is predictable and bad. The obsessive talk of birds is interesting. The sex stuff, for which this book is notorious, is EXTREMELY light–the…

  • Rise of the Rune Lords–Grazuul is Stoned

    In what can only be described as one of the longest running Rise of the Rune Lords Pathfinder campaigns of all time, we meet again on Roll20 and Discord to continue to explore the damaged dam. The central structure had stairs down leading to an aquatic pool that contained Grazuul who is some kind of…
