I'm very interested in this, but I'm not sure about Karen Armstrong's narration. She's got an accent.

Ever had eelpout? My dad cooked it up out of curiosity. I don't recall if I partook.

I'm basically just collecting a list of books to get when I purchase an annual subscription. I figure something about Ghandi will help me with the more contemplative things that I'm doing these days. To that end, his The Story of My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography sounds like the exact thing I need. There are three different recordings, but the narrator of this one sounds like I imagine Ghandi sounding, so it's my top pick.

Finished some books on the "early modern" world including a murder in Finland in the 1670s.

Continuing to the history of Riga Latvia. All my Baltic books have to do with Sweden, Finland or the Baltic states, but I mostly skipped Latvia and Lithuania so far. Latvia was lumped together with Estonia for a period, as Livonia.
