    Carver's, No, Cleavers. 🤣 Good action movie.

    I watched that one back when I had Netflix, and found it quite good.  It was a bit of a wild ride if I recall, as it went from a typical Ryan Reynolds light-hearted fun action flick, then took a couple pretty dark turns, and got a whole lot more serious....

    I just finished this one this morning. The good news - it’s an exceedingly easy read.  The bad news - where to begin...

     

    First, I highly recommend you read this book - NOT because it’s content is of any value, but because it’s important to understand how you are viewed by the woke brigade, if you are Caucasian.  If you deny your racism, it’s because you’re racist - if you admit your racism, well... It’s the old “Have you stopped beating your wife yet” verbal trap.

     

    An important “peek behind the curtain” of the radical movement sweeping the country - I’m glad I took the time to read it.

    Historical spy novels. Like potato chips you read one and you will be reading the rest.

    His research. Is very impressive. Kinda like a mix of Clancy at his best and John le Carre for depth.


    That sounds right up my alley - thanks for the reference!

    Good for you for reading that one. She makes critical race theory palatable and understandable for the masses.  For counterpoint, I would suggest Eric Lindsay. He is quite competent on the topic.


    Close - I’ll be following it up with James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose...

  5. Several years ago, I used to read before bed every night.  Then, with the advent of the IPad, I got into the habit of surfing the web, doing crossword puzzles, and checking the various news sites I frequent before bed.  Lately, I’ve gone back to reading, and I’ve found I sleep MUCH better than when I “IPad” before bed.

     

    I am always reading two books at a time, a fiction book, and a non-fiction book.  I typically read fiction before bed, and non-fiction in the morning and at lunch. This thread is for the Fiction books that we are all currently reading.  See THIS thread for your current non-fiction reads.

     

    Hopefully I’m not the only reader here (and willing to discuss some great literature)!

  6. Walking through FYE the other day, I came across the AC/DC River Plate concert DVD for $5.  Needless to say, I bought it - my son and I watched it last night in the theater room, with the volume at 11 o’clock (Not really, but it was at live listening levels!).  We intended to surf through it, but we ended up watching the whole damn thing, and even the behind the scenes featurette.  What a show! Damn those guys can flat-out ROCK... Got me thinking though - I don’t think I can name a single ballad by the group (in the traditional vein of metal/rock ballads anyway).

     

    Anyone else think of one...?

  7. Does anyone know WTF the lyrics to Roundabout by Yes mean??

     

    "Roundabout"
     

    I'll be the roundabout
    The words will make you out 'n' out
    I spend the day your way
    Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

    The music dance and sing
    They make the children really ring
    I spend the day your way
    Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

    In and around the lake
    Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
    One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
    Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
    Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

    I will remember you
    Your silhouette will charge the view
    Of distant atmosphere
    Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley

    In and around the lake
    Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
    One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
    Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
    Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

    Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
    Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
    The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

    Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
    We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
    Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by million years

    I'll be the roundabout
    The words will make you out 'n' out
    I'll be the roundabout
    The words will make you out 'n' out

    In and around the lake
    Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
    Twenty four before my love and I'll be there

    I'll be the roundabout
    The words will make you out 'n' out
    You spend the day your way
    Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

    In and around the lake
    Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
    One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
    Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
    Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

    I am not a fan of any film or TV program that includes scenes depicting NFL/College football players. 

    The uniforms and "actors" never look authentic - neither do the scenes they are depicting....


    when I was just a kid, I thought all boxing was just like the “Rocky” movies. Imagine my disappointment when I first watched real boxing, lol. Over time I grew to (somewhat) appreciate boxing - then you realize that just one of those huge punches would likely send someone to the hospital...

    ...it tells the story of Scarlett, who starts out as a self-centered brat and nearly four spectacular hours and a surfeit of popcorn later is still a self-centered brat....


    And here we thought millennials were a new thing....:-)
