God, you're right. It's very "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose".

I'm now listening to The Secret History and Donna Tartt's narration really is an Experience. Some of the line delivery is interesting and adds a different dimension to the writing, but I'm not wild about the voices of some of the characters (particularly Bunny.)

Oh yeah, Myers of Keswick was a lifesaver when I lived in the states. I really missed all that stuff (and scotch eggs!) and would stock up whenever I visited NYC.

Isn't it a bit odd that this just says the account is based in "Africa"?

The Guardian posts this article the day after 'Lizza/Nuzzi - Part 2'

Coincidence??

Can't believe how well-timed this has turned out. They sound exactly like Grok's recent turn!

I've been meaning to rewatch Amer sometime. Did you already catch Dead Diamond?

Hey, Fail Safe - snap! I guess House of Dynamite has inspired a lot of people to catch up on this one.
