Hey I'm Kyrin and I review books of all genres/styles but with an emphasis on those that have stood the test of time (i.e., not recent releases). Join me as I cover the basic details before diving into the themes, ideas and learnings we can take away from the fascinating realm of literature. Weekly live episode on Thurs 10am AEST (Wed/Thurs Midnight UTC+0) plus bonus episodes from my cohost Juan every now and then.

New Books Are Useful But Old Books Are Better | December 2022 Recap
I like recently published books for their utility, but for pure enjoyment and beauty it's hard for me to go past the classics.
In December 2022 we upped the ante and reviewed 5 books on this channel. As usual I was all over the shop with Russian poetry, coding for kids, biographies from 2 millennia ago and Victorian England drama. I chose not to include Juan's upcoming review (didn't want to spoil it) so that will be recapped next month.
Huge thanks to Petar the Slav for supporting the show, so greatly appreciated.
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
