i’m like 20 books deep into the bosch universe and connelly doesn’t miss. it took me a minute to realize i should be reading all his books in order because the plots come together. I had to go back and read 4 or 5 books to get up to speed. fantastic series.

When does he become the Lincoln Lawyer’s driver?

they are all in the mix right now. fantastic crossover starts in “the brass verdict”. just a couple bros, doing what they gotta do, for the sake of justice.

Wish they did that for the tv shows, though the guy playing Mickey Heller (they’re supposed to be half-bros?) is a charisma vacuum

I've read maybe a little more than half a dozen books about Lincoln, and so far this one has done the best job of describing the immediate and historical importance of the Emancipation Proclamation.

not done with this unique history of the Luddites yet, but it's proving to be quite a read--one surprising thing is how emphatic the author is about the Luddites not being anti-technology, but simply honest and clear about how each new technological advance in England's textile industry would inevitably be used to concentrate power, impoverish workers, etc...

i recommend also Progress Without People by David F Noble if you are looking for more with that lens on this topic

Check out Mike Leigh’s movie Peterloo

My dad used to call me a Luddite back in the day, but I learned later it isn’t an insult

Just got an ad on IG for a book called Galveston which is apparently about the older brothe of Rust Cohle (of True Detective) written by Nic Pizzolato

Just finishing this up, I'm sure a lot of you have already read it but if you haven't I highly recommend it!
