NRL Grand Final will be the Newcastle Knights and the Sydney Roosters. The team I follow against a team I have nothing but good feelings towards. It's going to be an awesome event.

Finally watched The Name of the Rose. The book is in my top 5 and the film did not disappoint.

Currently on a bit of a Le Carré binge. Midway through Tinker Tailor... and I am reminded that up there with the greatest cinematic tragedies is that we won't see Tomas Alfredson adapting Smiley's People.

Got an email from Waterstones to say that my copy of The Rouse by China Miéville is preparing for dispatch. Very much looking forward to this one. An email which has improved an otherwise tedious and frustrating day.

I'm reaching the end of my current book, Exodus: The Archimedes Engine (a massive bastard of a sci-fi novel which I have enjoyed) and am torn between Le Carré (The Looking Glass War) or Murakami (Wild Sheep Chase) next.

Today will be alleviated by some sultry-ass jazz. Davis was a complicated figure (read: giganto-bellend), but the guy knew what he was fucking doing with a trumpet.

I can feel this will be another exhausted night, staring at the ceiling and unable to sleep. White noise it is, then.

Fantastic day today climbing Whernside with the Provincial Dads. Fantastic views, lovely walk, buggered knees. Pictured here with one man named Josh and a dog belonging to a second man named Josh.

Tuesday's child is full of hope and it is this hope which, unfulfilled and scorned, will consume all that is good, leaving only bitterness in it's wake.

Been feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything at the mo, so treated myself to Saros for when the baby is sleeping. Bloody loving it, all the more for it being cool as heck to play a character performed by @rahulkohli13.bsky.social. Big recommend - I'm having a blast.

I'm being supported through today by Grateful Dead and REM.

Today is my first day back at work after paternity leave. There is a mighty storm. An omen, surely? Have the gates of R'lyeh been opened?

Book 31 of 2025: The Hollow Man by John Dickson Carr. Likely the last of the year finished over the weekend, and a chilled one to boot. A classic of detective fiction, I really enjoyed this, despite the number of times I had to read "harumph!". A good short one to finish the year.

I'm rounding off the year by sinking into some literary cake - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Book 30 of 2025: The Fortune of War by Patrick O'Brian. The next in the Jack Aubrey series, this time during the War of 1812. Another fantastic book, with a heavier focus on the intelligence work of our other protagonist, Stephen Maturin. Really bloody good.

Nate Bradley @nate-face.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Book 29 of 2025: House of Open Wounds by @aptshadow.bsky.social A sequel to 'City of Last Chances', this book has jumped straight into my top 5 Fantasy books and cemented Tchaikovsky as one of my favourite authors. An unorthodox field hospital, forgotten Gods and their bitter followers. Superb.

Books 25, 26 & 27 of 2025: 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. I only meant to read the first book and then come back to this, but it was such a compelling read that I had to go through all three. I love Murakami's brand of weird.

Book 22 of 2025: The Battle of Britain by James Holland. In true Holland style this book about the Battle of Britain starts before the declaration of war in 1939. This results in a near thousand pager! But I'll say this much, they're a great near-thousand pages. Strong recommend.

Nate Bradley @nate-face.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

In the office today and the soundtrack for the commute in will be the Grateful Dead's Anthems of the Sun. I expect the commute home will feature some dark and driving synthwave as I tire of all things human.

Nate Bradley @nate-face.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Book 20 of 2025: The Lady from Zagreb by Philip Kerr. A Bernie Gunther book, so obviously I loved it. This one felt much more in the noir style than the last couple (if I remember rightly) and it absolutely works.

Nate Bradley @nate-face.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Book 19 of 2025: East West Street by @philippesands.bsky.social The origins of the terms 'genocide' and 'crimes against humanity' in international law and their first usage at Nuremberg. Fascinating and haunting, this was another excellent book from Sands who never disappoints.

Nate Bradley @nate-face.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Book 18 of 2025: Cassino '44 by James Holland. The Allied invasion/liberation of Italy in the second world war was flippin' horrible. The accounts of people there are eye opening, as is the description of some of the bungling decisions made by commanders, both Allied and German.
