I think I can best describe the books I’ve read this month as “meh”. Some I finished. Many I DNF’d.
I can recommend Domination by Alice Roberts. I’m reading it slowly, enjoying both the history of the early Western Christianity church and its interweaving with political power and Professor Roberts’ style.
Since I don’t have any other books to recommend this month, I thought I’d mention a couple of podcasts.
If you’re interested in an author’s experience of publishing, with a focus on traditional publishing and the soul-sucking, disappointing reality, Dave Wragg is a guest on the SFF Addict podcast talking about the midlist death spiral. He’s a little bit sweary. It’s a good, honest account of the author experience.
For interesting science discussions enlivened by a guest comedian, the Infinite Monkey Cage hosted by Brian Cox and Robin Ince. Any episode! They’re all great.
Are there any podcasts you recommend?
