Finished reading: Moonbound by Robin Sloan 📚

\n

I can’t recall why I stopped reading this a year or so ago, but I started over this summer and am glad I finished. First of all: it was a fun read. Arthurian legends and the White Stripes were not on my bingo card, but alas, Sloan delivered.

Mortimer Adler on the virtue of Temperance:

\n
\n

If the poets and the historians describe the prevalence and the range of man’s intemperance, the moralists tend to be unanimous in recommending self-­control or moderation.
