It was short and fun play with Arthurian legends.

I ate this book up! You get to read about this mortician’s first six years of work in the funeral industry. It was funny, provocative, and just plain interesting. This is the second book of Doughty’s that I’ve read. I look forward to more.

I read this for the August Japanese Book Club at the Argo Bookshop. This was an interesting story about a doctor sent abroad after Japan opened itself up to the world. It was an odd tale about aging, folklore, and death. It’ll be worth a reread in the future to look for all the little nuggets left by the multiple unreliable narrators.

A thoughtful look at what constitutes a sacred practice, focusing mainly on meals, sacred reading, and… wait for it… the gym!

As a fan of his podcast, I was delighted to spend more time with Casper. I'm happy to learn more about rest.

I’m learned a lot but I gotta admit, reading this is a slog. I really had to push myself. Still, this gets into the nitty gritty of settler colonial thinking which is super useful to know. Definitely worth a reread, although I wish I had a physical copy I could scribble in.

An incredible story.

I've read this many times. It's great!
