I just listened to Ready Player One and Ready Player Two. Those 2 were absolutely amazing books. Awesome pop culture references all the way through them. Even though they are all over the place, they are easy to follow and get engulfed in. I can't wait to be disappointed by the movie(s)

One of my favorite Movies is Young Frankenstein which Wilder wrote. I listened to an audio book By Mel Brooks called Young Frankenstein . He talks about how the movie was made. It was ok but I didn’t like the flow of it at all . He jumps around so much, if he started from the beginning of the movie and worked to the end I would have liked it better. but it got me curious about Gene a bit more. I am reading “all about me” by Mel brooks. It’s ok. A slow read for me.

I know the feeling of how a book seems to jump around .

It was an audio book.
When I had finished listening I was OK with the book. It was good.

While taking it out of the cd player I noticed the player was set to random play.:eyesmoke:

That’s funny. I have listened to some very absorbing audible books recently. When they are good they suck me in and I listen for hours on end. Now I am out of free credits and sampled a few I want to listen to but man are they pricey $$ !! $27 for the one I want , that is outrageous. I listened to like 15 for free. I think they should cost no more than $10 each.
No exit by Taylor adams was great
Yours truly by Abby Jimenez was really good
The things we never got over by Lucy score was outrageous and had some very intense sexual dialogue that made us wonder if children should be listening to it.

Fuck audible. Get a library card, download the Libby app and check out audiobooks for free

I'm reading Hermann Hesse's book " Demian " for the umpteenth time . I originally read as a youngster and it had quite and impact on me ! I loved it ! Other books , of Hesse's , that I read over the year's are " Siddhartha " and " Steppenwolf " . Also very mind expanding . I highly recommend these very unique , insightful and pithy
books , most impressive and still relevant !

Check out your local library.

Audio or print they have something that will capture attention.

No way to tell what people are reading, but it must be riveting!

Yeah right. Guys that hang out at library’s are so creepy. When they look at me I cringe and get in and get out as soon as possible. Lol. Never look them in the eyes and wait for the isle to be clear. A lot of dirt bags hang out there. The Eugene Oregon public library took it to a next level of filth and drugs. Shooting up in the restroom. Bathing in restrooms and all the books smelled horrible!

Hi there Stonie! Right now I’m doing very well, thanks for asking. It was a long 8 hour drive today but we made it. Made it to our room for 4 nights in Estes Park which is the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Looking forward to some spectacular’s scenery the next days ahead. Criss crossing Across Colorado to check out the scenes and then slipping back into Utah Goblin Valley on the way back home. Fucking love Goblin ! Had to do this before I bail from Colorado . Had to see it all. What’s up with you ?FB170C30-7CB5-488B-96F5-5BF22F95A68C.jpeg

I love it , this is the time to for traveling all over Hell's acres , seeing the wonders around us and raising hell . A popular saying in Scotland is " Adventure before
Dementia " . How f'ing true ! I'm turning 70 pretty soon and was diagnosed with the onset of Dementia. I am awful happy that I traveled all over , vacationing and having a blast before this wonderful news . I'll probably , in the near future, keep sending you the same message , over and over and over again! Lol ! You take care and enjoy all that you can ! Many people wait way to late , to a point where they just can't do
it . My wife and I also said " move or die " . Now that we're older our motto is " Move,
adapt ( shit happens) and keep a sense of humor " !

Hey lokie , I hope all is well ! So many people wait until they are getting pretty old
to start adventuring ( and more prone to health problems or at least lack stamina ).
Get those adventures in when you're younger , not when your a " senior citizen " and could " shit the bed " ! Take it easy , enjoy and keep harmonizing with nature, that I know is a passion of yours ( mine to , I love the outdoors and still sleep a lot in a tent with my hounds down by the lake shore ) .

Seldom am I at a loss for words.

I've seen most of these, and some on the outskirts of nowhere at all.
