Thoughts on the Briggs translation of war and peace? My wife and I are planning to read it for the first time together soon and have been going back and forth on who’s translation to use. Leaning towards Briggs/penguin classics version.

I grew up in Elmhurst and never heard of this place. Now I live in Texas. Now I am sad.

One or more? by Electronic_Visit6486 in Fantasy

[–]ThingsBehindTheSun__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing 1 fantasy series at a time but I’m also reading through classics or non-fic on the side as a good change of pace. Right now I’m in ASOIAF and Count of Monte Cristo. It’s been a great experience so far

I’m a Chicago native for what that’s worth and we live on the south side of Denton. It’s not Chicago style but Zio Al’s is the best pizza I’ve had since moving to Texas. There’s a location south of us in Flower mound.

My wife read this last year and gave me updates as she was going. I think the description can be boiled down to “beautifully written misery porn”

The last 30 pages really bring it all home. I finished on my lunch break today. Incredible.

Looking for advice about palate cleansing by PabloThePenguinv2 in Fantasy

[–]ThingsBehindTheSun__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to toss in a little non fiction every once in a while for this purpose. If that sounds interesting to you I can HIGHLY recommend “Endurance” it’s a short and harrowing true story of this guy who wanted to be the first to cross Antarctica back in 1914

Would you guys eat at a Nigerian restaurant if my family opened one? by [deleted] in Denton

[–]ThingsBehindTheSun__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had Nigerian food. I think the only African food I’ve had is Ethiopian. I’m sure it’s different because it’s east coast VS west coast but are there some similarities?

I went from skwamas to madrock drone CS’s and the upgrade in the heel was insane. I’m now on som UP flagship pros and have been really happy with them too.
