Re: What Are You Reading...
Reading has been quite slow these past few months, but the last couple of weeks I've felt a new wind coming. Here's what's up:
1. Private Citizens by Tony Tulathimutte - This was recommended by a friend, and I was quite skeptical about the book when I read the blurb, but it's very entertaining and intelligent. It's funny at times too. Been a very good read so far. Might finish this weekend.
2. I recently put together a list of basic, 101-level reading materials on formal logic. This week I'm focusing on fallacies, more particularly on transductive reasoning. I thought formal logic would be too dry, but it is a good excuse to use whacky examples to prove or disprove a point, which is fun :)

Killers of The Flower Moon by David Grann
I ran across this one and finished it while ago.
It is a true story about murders, greed and a tribal curse of legacy.
The efforts that the author went to research and cobble this into a coherent work of Non-Fiction is truly monumental.
Of all the stories I listened to as of late being audio books... this one really stuck with me… in analog or paper book terms I categorize it as a “page turner” ‘nuff said. ;)

The Film
So far...
What I have been able to garner so far was the actors and director.
Impressively… Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone to name only a few and Directed by Martin Scorsese. I believe the film is over 3 hours long!
I believed it has premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and that it might be at the local cinemas by October 2023. If a decent trailer shows up I'll post it. (Of course there is always IMDB) :pinch:
Edit: A decent trailer is now in "Coming Attractions" ...they musta read me mind. ;)

"Drunken Fireworks" by Stephen King
I may have posted this before... I probably do so every year on FST or other forums I visit, BUT...
It’s almost time again! It is a humorous story by the master of horror Stephen King.
It is one of my favorites, (having personally to do with the fireworks trade), so maybe it just me.
Think he can’t do humor… think again. ‘nuff said. ;)
Drunken Fireworks by Stephen King, to the best of my knowledge, was exclusively done as an audiobook and is relatively short at about 1:20 minutes. Excellent narration by Tim Sample which I believe adds to the story. A print version may be available by now though. :unsure:
