I read whatever sounds interesting. I enjoy books on other cultures and I like historical biographies. I don’t particularly enjoy historical fiction because a lot of people take too much as factual. (This was my biggest complaint when The Greatest Showman came out and everyone was suddenly an...

I recently finished Batman: Damned. It was pretty dark, even for a Batman story and exists out of DC continuity. Some characters are treated differently, with different abilities (Deadman can only possess people for a short time, for instance) but it was good. It had a hell of a twist and I...

I enjoy the occasional pipe. Way more aromatic than cigars.

I’m glad you liked it!

Me too

His other books are pretty good, too. I remember one of his bit books was the first “adult,” book I ever read and I laughed throughout it all.

I love literature like this because people can pull all sorts of stuff out of it and I had never thought of that! I thought the theme of the book was learned helplessness and the perils of martyrdom. Gregor gives up being happy (when he was a soldier) to take care of his family and they the...

Yeah, I wouldn’t worry about it. ;-)

A dark mode would definitely be welcome.

I’m a big fan of The Screwtape Letters. I feel like people get excited about the idea that it’s a CS Lewis book about Christianity and miss that it’s a pretty harsh critique over the pitfalls of religious-adjacent things (the pageantry or getting hung up on the drama of the congregation) rather...

I’m sure it’s going to be great. I’m excited to start recording videos with it whenever it comes!

My wife collects Sherlock Holmes pastiches and I try to find Holmes books in other written languages whenever I’m somewhere that that’s a thing. She has a fun collection of French, German, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and… want to say Indian but can’t remember for certain (it’s been a few years)...

Thank you for the kind words! I had been after the mahogany/spruce for a couple of years and a good soul on here eventually offered one up when I had the money to get it. I loved it so much that it made me think I was done looking for my go-to tenor with the GIANT exception being fulfilling a...

It’s one of my favorites!

I read that this year! PLEASE let me know your thoughts when you finish it because that was a book that stuck with me for a while after I finished it!

I’ve had three Pono tenors and the only one I didn’t get along with was a rosewood/cedar. I still have an ebony/cedar and a mahogany/spruce and these are both great ukuleles for fingerstyle. I like the balance of the mahogany a little more - particularly when you add strums to it, but the ebony...

Alfred’s Ukulele for Kids

I bought 13 and sold one. Normally I’m not one to get rid of instruments, but I just could NOT bond with that one uke no matter how much I adjusted the action, changed the strings, etc.
