A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Book 34. A writer steals a story plot from a student, who dies mysteriously. Years later, an anonymous stalker threatens to reveal the theft. Suspenseful.

Reviewing goals for 2025, one was to read physical books. I read 33 (so far) this year, up from single digit quantity last year. I'm calling that goal "accomplished"

Book 33. The author has done many interviews on these topics, so I ended up skimming much of this. Good compilation of weird beliefs of today's tech billionaires

A House of Dynamite is both political fantasy and major disappointment
Kathryn Bigelow’s Netflix ‘what if?’ drama is the director’s most frustratingly assembled and visually flat film to date

US Constitution Article 1 Section 5: "...Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."
so how can the House be adjourned for more than 3 days?

Book #30. Presents Jefferson as a political figure that “shaped America” rather than a full biography. The author was more in love with his own phraseology than details around his subject. This was quite different from the Jon Meacham biography.

Book 26: This book critiques how history is taught and gives examples of persons and events where the actual circumstances are obscured, and "heroes" are not so perfect. When historical events are distilled down to Disneyfied summaries, we cannot learn from our shared story.

Book 25. A satire about an author of avant-garde fiction whose writing is not best-selling. Novels of “the Black experience” are selling, so he writes a novel to parody these novels. Instead of being seen as satire, this novel receives accolades and recognition. Highly recommend!
