Weekly Update: Malazan Second Apocalypse, Analog Living & Why Reading Still Matters
In this week’s update, I talk about everything that’s been occupying my reading life lately—from continuing my journey through The Bonehunters with the Page Burners group to revisiting The Darkness That Comes Before in a full-spoiler reread of The Second Apocalypse. I share some thoughts on balancing multiple projects, the surprising impact of Lone Wolf and Cub, and ideas for future reads outside of fantasy.
I also spend some time reflecting on something that’s been on my mind lately: our relationship with technology. From nostalgia for the 1990s to the growing desire for an “analog life,” I talk about social media fatigue, why reading still matters, and the importance of finding quiet moments in an increasingly connected world.
Along the way, I share thoughts on From, Black Summer, upcoming projects like Daily Page, and some behind-the-scenes podcast updates—including a pleasant surprise after switching podcast hosts and discovering more people are listening than I ever expected.
If you’d like to read along, discuss books, or just escape the noise for a little while, grab a book and join me.
