During Hippocampus Press's Black Friday Sale you can get the two volume letters of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, A Means to Freedom, for half price. I highly recommend this set for fans or scholars of either writer. 30 bucks is a steal.

The media are always a lagging indicator, piling on after events threaten to overtake them. This was true in the McCarthy era, in the Vietnam era, in the Watergate era, the Iraq War era. By the time the media say something is bad and failing, the public has already turned decisively against it.
"While elite journos and businessmen kiss the ring of Trump, people in jammies and slippers confront ICE in the street. The courage of ordinary people has been stunning compared to the elite."

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So
As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

I can recommend watching the Granada Holmes adaptations with the text in front of you. Whole sections exactly the same. Interesting tweaks in other places which are often improvements.
Watching *and* reading ‘The Solitary Cyclist’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It strikes me that this has something of the feel of a ghost story – perhaps partly because the Granada adaptation has something of Lawrence Gordon Clark about it.

Last few years I've tried to squeeze in "bucket list" reads. Last year was Book of the New Sun. Previously Dune and Frankenstein
I still have E. R. Eddison's Zimiamvian books, Earthsea, Varney the Vampire (1845), le Morte D'Arthur or The Water Margin on the list
Anyone else have bucket list reads?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Poul Anderson's THE BROKEN SWORD came out the year before LOTR. One was a dark, adult, grim account of supernatural warfare. The other started with a birthday party for Hobbits. In a fair world, Anderson would be spoken of in the same breath as Tolkien.
