If books are angry with TV, they must now be furious with Smartphones.

Read Wolf Hall, worthy of the praise it recieves. Gonna have a lighter book before moving onto the second in the trilogy, a nice mental amuse bouche to cleanse my brain before tackling Bring out the Dead

I am firing up the nerd signal here. I was looking for something to send to my 16 year old nephew and found a box set of books about the first age. Those are familiar to most fans of the Tolkeinverse, but then I stumbled upon something I didnt know existed

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fall-Númenor-complete-Middle-earth-depicted/dp/0008655677/ref=sw_img_d_pb-allspark-smartwagon_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0008655677&pd_rd_w=5HV4q&content-id=amzn1.sym.e76ad2d1-4583-4667-ba74-e700fa3ccfa5&pf_rd_p=e76ad2d1-4583-4667-ba74-e700fa3ccfa5&pf_rd_r=01RW7WV3K3B9V4BJ3FC3&pd_rd_wg=AUmdm&pd_rd_r=d56f079e-056a-4cd4-a718-67a16746d62a

This seems to be the closes thing there is any narrative of the second age, which is what Rings of Power is supposed to be telling. Could be interesting and seems well received based on the reviews

I haven’t and will add to my list.

Been reading Hans Fallada and Philip Kerr recently of course the former was there but I do think Kerr and his character do a good job.
