Rapid progress continues to be made through Paris 1919, in large measure thanks to the Exodus 90 prohibition on television (broadly defined) & non-essential internet usage, which has created more reading time. While it is overly simplistic to claim that the Paris Peace Conference & the resultant Treaty of Versailles "caused" the Second World War (1939-1945), the cavalcade of terrible decisions from the triumphant Entente Powers about which I'm reading exacerbated the upheavals & trauma produced by the First World War (1914-1918), creating the conditions which made possible the deadliest conflict in history.
The Abiding Together podcast's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe book club wrapped up in today's episode, though I finished the book a few weeks hence. The protocols of my two-person Mere Christianity book club with my ex-girlfriend Miss Mozart have yet to be set, but I'd like to finish the book before Lent (which I'm strongly favoring calling by its Latin name, Quadragesima) begins with Ash Wednesday on 6 March.
The Popish Plot's "G. K. Chesterton's The Defendant" book club (which has spectacularly failed to garner any YouTube collaborators) is also scheduled to conclude before Quadragesima begins.
