@TheGreatB00ks Either "Silver Blaze" or "The Blue Carbuncle" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Both are an excellent display of Sherlock Holmes's skills & personality. "The Blue Carbuncle" also has the benefit of being a good, light-hearted Christmas story.

What short story do always recommend?

@TheGreatB00ks I was inspired to reread these for the first time since high school & bought the Fagles version so I can follow along on your podcast. Can't wait. 🙂 🦬

Socrates tells us that the Iliad and the Odyssey are about justice.

@AlexAndBooks_ I experienced this while reading "Paradise Lost". It was so good, I had to lie down.

One of the best feelings from reading is when you find a sentence so good that you have to close the book and stare at the wall for a minute.

@robbertleusink I did not know the Medici connection and am also not surprised.

The piano was invented by a craftsman nobody remembers: Bartolomeo Cristofori was born in Padua on May 4th 1655 and spent his career maintaining instruments for the Medici court in Florence Around 1700 he built something new: a keyboard instrument that responded to touch, playing soft or loud depending on how hard you pressed the key He called it the 'gravicembalo col piano e forte' The Medici gave one away to a cardinal in Rome and sold two more in Florence The initial reception was poor: musicians found the sound too soft compared to the harpsichord Cristofori died in 1731 having sold a handful of instruments to royalty Within thirty years his invention had replaced every other keyboard instrument in Western music His name appears on three surviving pianos in New York, Rome, and Leipzig Almost nobody knows him

@SalSports Sal, what's the TV availability for R2? Any chance the games'll be shown locally?

Is there an update on this, Joe!?!?!

@AuthorGFAllen @AmberDanie63793 I prefer hardcovers. They stay open while eating.

@AmberDanie63793 Nothing beats a good paperback

Anyone else still pick physical books over ebooks or audiobooks?

@AuthorGFAllen Me. I have hearing issues, and ebooks are uncomfortable. 🦬
