I just finished this audiobook about the ancient philosopher Diogenes. It was a great listen and good look at the philosophy of cynicism. Highly recommend it! It don’t worry I’ll be back next year with more substack content. #booksky #audiobook #philosophy

Things get mysterious as the novella progress. I feel it blends genres becuase there are things that feel out of the ordinary. I am almost done, let’s see how it ends.

I am taking a little break from listening to fiction audiobooks for a bit. I just started listening Queer Enlightenments: A Hidden History of Lovers, Lawbreakers, and Homemakers by Anthony Delaney and I might try to do some reading notes on that for a few days and see how it feels.

Day 13:
I finished "The Ladies of Grace Adieu” and it finished with one of the best pieces in the anthology. I was looking to the "John Uskglass and the Cumbrian Charcoal Burner" becuase of the references made to the story in the footnotes in Jonathan Strange and Mr.norrell.

"Tom Brightwind, or How the Fairy Bridge was Built at Thoresby" is almost done and it was the better stories in the Anthology. The relationship between two main characters reminds me of Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect in The hitchhiker guide to the galaxy.

I am still on “Mrs. Mabb”. From the stories I have read, the focus is on female characters and dealing with magic and fairies. This is actually a nice change of pace from Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell who was very male centric.
