Works of Washington Irving: Granada
Washington Irving
Washington Irving was a squatter at the Alhambra in the 1820s, where he wrote his famous book (as were many other people!), and I think it’s nice that Granada is now home to a thriving population of crust punks confining the tradition. https://t.co/LeT1wROEhS

Master and Commander
Patrick O'Brian
associating Master and Commander exclusively with dudes is very funny to me, as my mom and her three sisters have been hardcore Patrick O'Brian enthusiasts for as long as I can remember https://t.co/m9kBWyhQmh

Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings
Neil Price
I’m loving Neil Price’s “Children of Ash and Elm” - especially his fascinating, thoughtful attention to Viking concepts of gender and queer identities. Highly recommended. (He’s an archaeologist who worked on the Birka grave of a AFAB warrior). https://t.co/dHa0GRa4Xs

Northwest Passage
Stan Rogers
Listening to Stan Rogers “Northwest Passage” in Discord with other Twitter exiles is definitely giving me hope that perhaps, we will find a better way to be extremely online

Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago
Eric Klinenberg
It was also interesting to get a current Chicago focused story on heat wave mitigation, as I really enjoyed reading Eric Klinenberg's classic book on the 1995 Chicago heat wave last year https://t.co/oI8QY7VyzI
