Absolutely!

I’m too late, and you didn’t need help anyway, but on the off chance you haven’t seen it: www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/faq...

Congratulations, Dr.!

I’m a metal head, so in my case: I guess so

That's what persuaded me registering was worth it even if I didn't have time to read everything. Being a completionist, I then spent too much of July binging the nominees. Takeaway being, I guess, to decide whether to register sooner than a month out but that it's worthwhile even if late

I'd recommend it! Registering also gets you ebooks of most of the nominees, if that sweetens the deal

I discovered several great new (to me) authors, especially among the novellas/novelettes. Plenty of strong novels too, but the only one I'd already read, Alien Clay, stayed in first place. I've also followed Nussbaum's reviews for years and was thrilled to vote for her there

I love that mural!

Haha I’m sure a very informative deer nonetheless

Very cool!

Definitely agreed! I’ve also really enjoyed both Unconquerable Sun and Babel. Haven’t had a chance to watch Andor yet but know I should.

I really enjoyed everything about those books, but this was the part that impressed me most, a fictional culture whose attraction felt real and almost familiar despite its alien nature from the perspective of a Roman historian

Very cool! And I’ll bet she does. Setting a book in Shakespearean England, Roman Sicily, renaissance Florence, and still other times/places sounds like an incredible amount of research

Delighted to hear it!

Definitely Roman Imperial Coinage for research. For teaching, I probably send students into the Oxford Classical Dictionary most often.
