Cage III -- Free Show. B.S. Latrodectus Mactans Productions/Infernatron Animation Concepts, Canada. Cosgrove Watt, P. A. Heaven, Everard Maynell, Pam Heath; partial animation; 35 mm.; 65 minutes; black and white; sound. The figure of Death (Heath) presides over the front entrance of a carnival sideshow whose spectators watch performers undergo unspeakable degradations so grotesquely compelling that the spectators' eyes become larger and larger until the spectators themselvers are transformed into gigantic eyeballs in chairs, while on the other side of the sideshow tent the figure of Life (Heaven) uses a megaphone to invite fairgoers to an exhibition in which, if the fairgoers consent to undergo unspeakable degradations, they can witness ordinary persons gradually turn into gigantic eyeballs.

Reading ‘If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller’ right now and I’m really enjoying it.

I read Assata Shakur’s autobiography a few weeks ago and loved it.
 
Started Winston Churchill's The Second World War (the four-volume version). It will be interesting to learn about the war from a different perspective and focus after The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
 
I'm on the second book of Dune.
Mannnn, part II is coming out soon.
Get you reads on,
Read Dune 1st book & Dune 2nd book, to get into the Warner Brothers book/film & tell me what the movie left out in part II.
 
Chess Story by Stefan Zweig

Chess Story, also known as The Royal Game, is the Austrian master Stefan Zweig's final achievement, completed in Brazilian exile and sent off to his American publisher only days before his suicide in 1942. It is the only story in which Zweig looks at Nazism, and he does so with characteristic emphasis on the psychological.
 
I finished reading @LucasSimonDrake ‘s book (‘Runners High / Can LSD Make You Gay?’) last week.

Surprisingly (considering it is a Reddit book), it was actually very good and one of the most entertaining things I’ve read recently. It’s a free ebook, so I recommend reading it if you are at all interested in psychedelics and running.
 
Haven't read longtime ago.The books are expensive.....so it leaves me only el.reader...must look what my wife downloaded
 
I read the 1992 novel Clockers by Richard Price after seeing the 1995 movie Clockers by Spike Lee, which follows the text pretty closely.

Definitely worthwhile if you have any interest/experience in the crack/heroin trade, especially in North Jersey. (The motion-picture joint moves it to Brooklyn but the novel is set in "Dempsey," a Jersey City stand-in.)

Pretty good just as far as literature goes, too. Nice to get a sympathetic drug-dealer's-eye POV and not just the cop's... Some aspects of the plot were vague or lagging but they were mostly on the periphery.

This is the first I've read by Price but I enjoyed his writing style, generally unobtrusive but vivid in observed detail (especially about different facets of the drug economy) and convincing in psychological realism.

Overall, a solid book with a relatively fresh and unclichéd approach to a familiar genre—recommended (as is the movie, FTM).
 
Her mother says, do you want to help me, and she means it. She is perfectly willing to do it alone, but she wants Cheryl to know that if she wants to, if she'd like to do something other than sit naked in the yard, she can come in and help, but she is under no obligation. It is simply an option.
