Good reads

Hahaha!!! That’s funny, Reg, but I’d like to read something you’ve read, too.

The bible? Oh wait, you wanted non-fiction. Anything by Michelle Obama or Jill Biden available?

I don’t read anything. I read too much at work, lol.

I have many. Do you need one?

Testimonies of truth, like in the Bible, yes,

Nothing I’m interested in.

That’s the nice thing about a Bible. If you don’t have time to read a chapter you can read one verse in the Word and gain knowledge.

For it says in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen, precious cornerstone. Whoever trusts in Him will never be put to shame.”

This book was published the day before the fires went out. I would have said put out but I don’t know that they were put out since noone had water.

Wouldn’t you like to climb in that car and just ride around for a while lol.

I never read anything by Kurt Vonnegut. I even haven‘t heard about him till today. I like his letter to the future and reading about him on Wikipedia, I might - in a very brave moment - check if the library has Slaughterhouse Five.

I like to listen to Cumberbatch even in an American accent. At least the one he uses here. Still, I wish he would have used the Standard English.

Slaughterhouse-Five is probably the best book of all time.

That sounds like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I’m not looking into that one again.

I fear to read it.

In 2003, as she approached the end of her life, celebrated theatre director Clare Venables received the following letter from her dear friend, Peter Thomson.

Saw the movie and read the book. He was captured in WW2 after his plane was shut down over Germany.

Thank you, Gunda. Made my eyeballs leak lol. I would liked to have written a letter like they to Will.

You’re very wellcome. I love those live letters too. E-Mails unfortunately will prevent such nuggets for posterity.

I built a little free library. I’m not sure if these are common outside the USA. Basically, you build a little house, stick it in your front yard and people put books in it. Take a book, leave a book, etc… People put canned food in them when covid was bad. I live at the corner of library and school st.

It is a little bigger than I was hoping. I need to possibly paint it gray to match our house. Or just polyurethane it. It could use a magnet on the inside. I am worried about elements and vandals. Less so about thieves. Just hope everything stays dry. I am planning on putting it on a pressure treated post, stick that in a plastic bucket with concrete and put that in a planter. It’s going to way over 200 lbs when all done, but don’t really want to stick it in the ground.

Hopefully, nobody gives any trouble. I know there has been a lot of book banning going on. I’d accept any book in it.

I realize that is a bad picture. Did 7 hours of yardwork today. I’ll take a better pic sometime. Maybe will show progress.

The mazda can load 4x4x8 posts with no problem. Longer than I realized. Mostly nervous about securing this to post and keeping inside dry.

I love it. We have lots of those here in Canada. I don’t know if they get use.

Would you accept Mein Kampf or the Turner Diaries?
