It is excellent! I recommend not listening to the audiobook; I found the narrator's attempt at character voices distracting.

I can't even listen to it while reading, which I do sometimes.

Why keep you around when you blocked all outlets to reply? He did you a favor. And that is NOT what he said, and you KNOW it.

Priory of the Orange Tree at my daughter's behest (she never steers me wrong) and she is right again!

I usually also have an audiobook going in addition, but I haven't picked a new one yet :)

I'm 3/4 of the way through my 10 books/10,000 pages in 2025 - reading The Priory of the Orange Tree right now.
What's left?
its prequel, A Day of Fallen Night and
the sequel to The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End.

This, of course, is interspersed with all the other readings...

Yeah I’ve seen people recommend to stay away from a few stories in particular. And yeah, pretty wretched person.
I do find it fascinating that he seems to have changed from pro-aristocracy(!) to socialist during the depression.

Anything you recommend in particular? Or just leave him alone?

It has to be the first that was going to be a grand slam

Only the 2025 Brewers could turn giving up a grand slam into the oddest force out double play ever

"Over and out" on Bluesky is replying and muting

"Out" is just blocking

wait til you hear that I call them "whistle pigs"

"There is also a variety of less common names and slang terms for the groundhog, such as whistle pig, thickwood badger, and land beaver."

(No, I don't really call them whistle pigs)
