@JoshuaLisec @primalpoly The Elgin Affair:The True Story of the Greatest Theft in History by Theodore Vrettos. Persuaded me the @britishmuseum should NEVER give back the marbles. Used to think otherwise. The book isn’t dogmatic in any way—just a fascinating story that reveals truth about what happened.      источник

Experience the beauty and danger of surfing in William Finnegan's memoir, "Barbarian Days". This coming-of-age story takes readers on a global journey as Finnegan chases waves and navigates life's ups and downs. From a whites-only gang in Hawaii to a picturesque fishing village in Samoa, Finnegan explores the complexities of close male friendships, social upheavals, sexual politics, and more. This book is an adventure story, an intellectual autobiography, and an extraordinary exploration of the mastery of a little-understood art. It's no wonder why some call it the finest surf book ever written.

This video made me think of a book I love called Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life. I Listened to it on Audible. Wasn’t sure I’d like it. Once I started listening, I was enthralled. No politics, just great storytelling, adventure, and beautiful prose      источник
