Also, anyone read Clockwork Orange lately? Over half way through it today. I like how the writer was a linguist and invented their own slang for the story.
Finished it this week, along with the final chapter left out of the original publishing. The actual ending reminded me of the ending in SLC Punks.
A little over half through rereading Fahrenheit 451 again. It is one of my favorite dystopian books. Bradbury was right on the money with the insect earbuds and the voice and video screens when he wrote it in the era of the Ten Commandments movie and teal refrigerators built like tanks that will out live you. Everyone is glued to screens these days. I am one of the few at my current coffee shop that reads actual paper books. Have only seen one other patron there ever with a paperback book.
Yeah, F 451 was a great one. I’m traveling, so it’s harder to keep and read books, but my experience on Kindle only serves to remind me how much I miss real books. Did borrow my wife’s copy of A Little Life-that’s some hard stuff too.
Great time management! The book will blow you away. Powerful story of four college friends living in NY. Starts slow, but you’ll be hooked around p 50 or 60. After that you won’t want to read because you know you’ll have your heart broken, but absolutely must read on out of terror that that won’t happen.
Does anybody remember the website for the Fight Club movie, where you could ‘purchase’ a piece of clothing that Tyler wore? Except when you go to put it in your cart it just tells you how pathetic you are for thinking a shirt will make your life better?
Every source I check says urine is NOT sterile, however, my question is this... Is urine, inside the bladder, freshly filtered and dripped down down from the kidneys, actually sterile, however when it exits the body, gathers bacteria and other possible flora/fauna from the surface of the urethra? So is urine, if pulled straight from the bladder, sterile, and just gets contaminated from our nasty pee holes?
In the devastated city of Kahramanmaras, teams dug a tunnel through piles of fallen walls, floors and piping to reach one woman, in a rescue that was broadcast on live TV.
Two brothers, ages 17 and 21, spent 198 hours under a collapsed building in the same city. They rationed bodybuilding supplements and drank their own urine to survive. “Breathing was easy,” one brother told Ihlas, a local news agency. “We took protein powder.”
It really is perfect.
Its not, especially if it burns when you pee, but you can.
Did you catch the perfectly foley'd drip sounds that underscore "urine"?
Missed it. On my phone and I never turn anything up loud.

Those drips were just right.
In other words: free refills for your slurpee cup without even needing to get up out of your seat and missing some of the film. Incredible.
They should have handed out some airplane style pamphlets that pictured the truth. lol

Magnificent book, DNDElise

What is that one about? Haven't read that on yet.
I also do audio books to have something in the background. Lets me squeeze in more book time while I am doing things like folding laundry.

Cool! I will have to look this one up.
Wow, cool Randy.
Wait a minute - there was a movie version of “Fight Club”?

I did know that....
But does it cure athlete's foot? Why isn't anyone addressing the important questions?
Yeah, but can it sing?
