I really liked it. Thought the end justified much of the film, and was a bold (in a good way!) choice. Gotta say, its my fave of the year, though I havent seen Hamnet.
As a Sixers fan, I can imagine, vividly
Leave the nazi site!
The faith, its bad
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I appreciate the Dickens-esque structure, and even find the small errors endearing (sleet in Louisiana? Possible. In October...?) I ripped through it, with no suspense of story, but can imagine the late-night trip being an absolute cliffhanger.
Excellent book. Next, a shortie: Shawshank.
This one reminded me more of 11.22.63 than his other books. A real tearjerker. The way the narrative shifts between the present and past isnt dissimilar to the protagonist in 11.22.63 trying in vain to change the past.
Coffey of course is wonderful. Paul is a worthy moral compass, open & kind.
The Green Mile. Wow. What a book.
After a very, very slow start- I mean really, Mr Jingles the mouse is the main character of part one- the themes of justice, racism and the inherent cruelty of capitalism shine.
Love the Starboard

I stopped drinking but...
I'd celebrate with ALL the booze.

Imagine
She compared the Trump administrationβs claim that it can unilaterally remove exhibits it does not like to Orwellβs Ministry of Truth. βAs if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwellβs 1984 now existed, with its motto βIgnorance is Strength,β this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims β to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts,β Rufe wrote. βIt does not.β Rufe, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President George W. Bush, did not buy the Trumpβs administrationβs authoritarian argument: β[T]he government claims it alone has the power to erase, alter, remove and hide historical accounts on taxpayer and local government-funded monuments within its control.β
This is the good shit right here

The story itself was so barebones. I appreciate the simplicity of simply being lost in the woods. Triumph of the spirit, back against the wall survival stuff. It hit hard when her reality set in.
Fuck the Red Sox.
Just finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Fun little book! B+
Grim toward the end- no spoilers- but I was certainly worried about just *how dark* it would become.
Really good protagonist. Light-hearted and optimistic.
