It took me three hours to get through it.

I had to look up some of the references and read pieces of the pieces that were linked throughout the text. It was worth every minute and I enjoyed reading it.

I'm one of only a few people I know (OK, OK, I'm the ONLY one I know) who sent my adult children screen captures from UR, back in the day. And NOW, I went and spent $100 on this latest foolishness.

But, today, I got my money's worth: "Academia in the 20s has a lot of problems, and it’s only getting worse. Yet there are still history nerds out there, right now, who are seriously studying the Wars of the Roses—as though George Floyd had never existed!"

WHO ELSE CAN WRITE LIKE THIS?
