  • Thanks for the suggestions! I gotta make a list when I get home. I haven’t heard of a few of these so that should be exciting.

    The first two or three on that list might take several fits and starts to get through, YMMV, but they are WELL worth the effort, and you will come out the other side changed by the experience.

    I’m anticipating this, not too worried. I have trouble comprehending thick prose, but part of why I’m asking for recs is because I won’t improve if I don’t try.

    I loved having LOTR read to me as a kid so maybe it’s time to revisit it.

    People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isn’t a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.

    I remember seeing a ton of “archeologists: tHeY’rE jUsT fRiEnDs” comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.
