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.Topics discussed:The Bonehunters and the Page Burners readalongThe Darkness That Comes Before spoiler rereadLone Wolf and Cub and influential storytellingUpcoming Daily Page episodesThoughts on From and Black SummerSocial media, nostalgia, and the analog lifeWhy reading still mattersPodcast updates and future plansAmazon StorefrontPodcast equipment used (Amazon Affiliate links):Rodecaster DuoRode PSA1+ Professional Studio ArmRode Procaster Microphone
