I look forward to seeing how this develops, I'm not yet a subscriber but have a few on the go and will replace some soon. One thing I have noticed is that I have recently joined a number of private spaces through Substack subscriptions which has resulted in me now having lots of new apps on my phone (Discord, Slack, Telegram) but I have found none of them conducive to discussion due to their format; in addition, dependent on the demographic of the participants, they seem to suffer from hyperactive posters dropping continuous links or memes that break up the discussion. I guess what I'm saying is that I find old fashioned forums with threads better for generating meaningful discussion. Sorry, I appreciate I should really post this in my subscribed spaces and will do so shortly!

If I can get a promise from you that you will post a comprehensive "Becoming Noble's essential books-list" in the near future, I promise I will subscribe for one year 😉

looking forward to the Lonesome Dove review.

in fact, I just re-read all the whole series of books last year. McMurtry has an incredible way with words. Lonesome Dove might be my favorite book and, as a Texan, I view it as required reading for any citizen of the state.
