What are You Watching? [2024] Please Rate 1-5
The Gentleman (Netflix) was just ok IMHO. Also The Last of Us (Amazon). I’d rate both 2.5.- RonB

What are You Reading Now?
The first time through I found Master and Commander good but not great. However the series gets better and richer as it goes on. I’ve read the whole series six times and I’m thinking about when to restart it again.- RonB

How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?
Once every other day. I limit myself for health reasons and also because I enjoy a bowl more when I smoke less.- RonB

What are You Reading Now?
You've probably read Anthony Powell's Dance to the Music of Time series. The premise sounds similiar to Raven but a mostly earlier period and more sedate, I would think.- RonB

Ha, I’m not sure what I did. I probably looked up Raven on Amazon and saw the links to the other book and bought that. Anyway, it looks good!- RonB

Of course, he's probably best known for Empire of the Summer Moon, which was also excellent. But his other books are probably as good.- RonB

I’m re-reading Goddard’s Found Wanting. Also re-reading Waltari’s The Egyptian. Goddard is one of my favorites. The Egyptian is historical fiction about an ancient Egyptian doctor. The most popular novel of 1949 haha.- RonB

Doctor Thorne in that series is also very good. The Last Chronicle of Barset is a masterpiece.- RonB
