what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{4.5/5} “Samudra felt another numbing moment of pure disbelief. The Huni were digging in on the northern border, his treaty with one of their father’s protectorates was shattered, a royal woman was threatened and humiliated in public. He, Samudra, had been all but accused of harboring traitorous designs, and the emperor of Hastinapura was having […]
{4.5/5} “The FAA and the NTSB took 10 pilots, placed them in simulators, recreated the events that led to this plane falling out of the sky.
