ppl were really carrying around leeches like they were labubus

Also the dry humourous tone isn't really doing it for me here. But that's more of a personal preference than a quality issue I think.

I've been listening to this audiobook for a week or so and it's so far been interesting but I automatically deduct points from any historical nonfiction that uncritically uses "the dark ages" to refer to medieval Europe. I had profs in undergrad in 2010 telling me why that term is no longer used by credible historians. Why is it in books published in 2017 (and later!)???

About 50% done and feeling sort of personally affronted that bookclub is making me read this, knowing how unsettling it is for me to read a lot of body horror. I’m trying very hard not to let some of the imagery become intrusive.
