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

Day 4: The End
We end in an abrupt scene. It was a good novella, very similar to Cormac McCarthy. The narrator, Will Patton, does an excellent job. I would highly recommend this audiobook, it is not too long but it packs imagery and character.

Day 3:
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.

Day 2:
Time bounces around a lot as Grainier remembers his life. Like I said before the Language and imagery is beautiful and I love how it portrays Grainier grief. I think about halfway done so I’ll keep you all posted.

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.

Day 12:
"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.

Day 11:
I just finished "Mr Simonelli, or the Fairy Widower" and now I am on "Tom Brightwind, or How the Fairy Bridge was Built at Thoresby" a story a like a little bit better with it foot notes, which I am always a sucker for.

Day 10:
I think I am almost done with "Mr Simonelli, or the Fairy Widower". Like Mrs Mabbits a bit weaker than a other pieces.

Day 9:
I am still listening to "Mr Simonelli, or the Fairy Widower". Like I said previously this story is more ominous than the last and I think there won’t be a happy or at least a whimsical ending like the others.

Day 8:
I finished "The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse" and now I am on "Mr Simonelli, or the Fairy Widower" , a much ominous story.

Day 7:
I finished “Mrs. Mabb” and I am currently on "The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse"
A humorous story that feels like a fairy tale. Of course most of these stories are like fairy tales. There is a whimsical sense to these stories.

I am almost done with “Mrs. Mabb”. It’s a bit all over the place, but i still like it.

Day 5:
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.
