Finished Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. I liked the book, but it's very much product of it's time, the way men and women act. Also, if you can get the literary and pop-culture (of that time) references, you'll enjoy it a lot more. As it is, even though I enjoyed reading it, when I wasn't reading it, I didn't feel too much like picking it up.

Read Jujitsu Kaisen Vol. 3. Continuing my 1 volume per month for JJK. Same as The Dresden Files. Don't want to finish all the published work and wait for new ones. So, once a month will keep me supplied for quite a while.

Read Meet the Maliks - Twin Detectives: The Cookie Culprit by Zanib Mian. Got it for my kid, felt a little bit like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but more about muslim family and kids. Read it to see how it is, and I enjoyed it. It's first in the series though, the author has also written Planet Omar series, may try those for kid next.

Starting Death Masks by Jim Butcher.

Thanks for the reviews!

Will you recommend The First Signs as an introductory book on paleolithic cave art?

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not absolutely an introduction, since it really doesn't look at representational cave art in any detail. The author does include recommendations for several other books that do though. Really, I would suggest at least watching Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams - a beautiful and fascinating documentary that the author also recommends- before diving into this book.
