Joel Swagman | The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: Book Review @JoelSwagman | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 minutes ago.
This new camera I'm using has a 30 minute time limit before the recording stops. Unfortunately I did the thing I normally do, where I gave a long winded introduction, and then had to rush at the end to make the points about the book that I wanted to make. And the camera cut me off before I said everything about the book that I wanted to say. But, I said at least half of the things that I wanted to say about this book, so I'm going to call it good.
