January 23, 2022 Nudie Reads A Maligned Classic [S2E03]
Giorgio Vasari's "The Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects", published first in 1550 and again in 1568, gets a lot of shade but it is the world's first encyclopaedia of art and it's still a treasure-trove of fact, fiction and fabulous history. 🇮🇹🧑‍🎨🎨📚🐴

January 20, 2022 Nudie Reads The Past Is A Foreign Country [S2E02]
The 1970s and 1980s were a very different time. Thankfully the son of an amusement park owner has written a beautiful memoir of his father and the park he ran. New Jersey's "Action Park" has much to teach us in our safe 21st century world. Highly recommend.

January 16, 2022 Nudie Reads Robin Hood [S2E01]
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by American illustrator and author Howard Pyle in 1873 is the reason that 'Robin Hood' today means men-in-green-tights and steal-from-the-rich-to-give-to-the-poor. It took an American to make an English outlaw truly loveable. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🌳🌲🏹

December 16, 2021 Nudie Reads Merry Saturnalia [S1E96]
Ridicule of the great men of Rome was an important part of the festival of Saturnalia and of Roman political life. 18th century Edinburgh newspaper man Thomas Ruddiman agreed but was too much of gentleman to translate. 21st century Nudie has no such qualms. ️Season finale. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇹👑😉🎉

December 12, 2021 Nudie Reads Three Men in a Boat [S1E95]
Who is the most memorably named but forgotten 19th Century author? Jerome Jerome. But his novel "Three Men in a Boat" isn't forgotten. It is much loved. An adventure that also happens to contain the best description of hypochondria and seasickness ever written. 🇬🇧⛵️🤮🥴🥱🐕

December 09, 2021 Nudie Reads Please Pass The Salt [S1E94]
Adoré Floupette, Ernest Lalor Malley, Sokal Hoax and Grievance Studies Affair aka Sokal Squared are all, at heart, satirical works with a sharp aim at foolish literary and academic circles. But a 1976 sublime satirical work about salt passing is the 🐐. 🇺🇸🎓👨‍🏫✍️🎯

December 05, 2021 Nudie Reads Ben-Hur, Billy The Kid & Voldemort [S1E93]
The chariot race from the 1959 movie "Ben-Hur" is such a cinematic masterpiece many have forgotten the book from which it is taken. Lew Wallace wrote one of the all-time great action scenes in literature and created one of the all time baddest villains. And he knew Billy The Kid for real. Quite a writer. ️🇺🇸🐴🐴🐴🐴 🇮🇱
