We talked vikings, of course, and a lot about how they're portrayed in popular media.

Goodreads is turning off direct messaging soon.
That was a pretty important feature for me. When there were five reviews of some weird, esoteric research text, I'd often get in touch with one of the reviewers. Not many other avenues for that sort of thing.
Time to abandon the GR ship, IMO.
