Great and entertaining listen. Covers many of the strange occurrences claimed to have happened at SW Ranch, though no description is particularly long. Could definitely do with a larger book that logs all the claims in detail.

Some of David Sedaris’ writing is very funny, but frankly, it is more poignant and telling of being a person than constant humor. This, to me, is even better. If you’re looking for straight humor, I think you may be disappointed. If you’re looking for humor and honesty, then this is for you.

Well-researched and engaging look at Caligula

The idea that this book is stained by modernity is silly, as it's based in historical fact and primary sources. Some may find the closing chapter discussing Caligula and former president Donald Trump together out of place, but looking back at history and not attempting to place contemporary events alongside it is, as they say, risking history repeating itself.

This book does a great job outlining the Prince's life and achievements, and also and also occasional failures and those poor decisions of Edward III. An excellent primer for the study of king Richard and take over by Henry Bollingbrook thereafter.

Jones interjects a tiny bit of humor in this well presented overview of the entirety of the middle ages, including the late middle ages, which I've found are often left out in out in favor of the more "dark" times. We'll worth the listen and re-listens!

As a lover of the Underdark setting, it was great to learn that Drizzt's start to his surface exploits is even more compelling!

You get used to the narrator in short order; at least I did. This book does a great job of actually looking at records and historical evidence instead of repeating often erroneous legends about Rasputin, the Romanov's, and the surrounding players. Seems like the best of the subject.

Fantastic overview of the subject. Varied and engaging all the way through, including the overview of the archeologists' process at sites on the final section.

An espionage tale with a wrapping of religious themes, Dimiter is beautifully written and plotted. Worth stepping out of the box for his horror fans.
