What else would you compare it to, regarding the difficulty? I'm intrigued too @avecigrec - I'm just learning of the book today.

I have heard it's difficult, and while I did get through War and Peace, I am not always up for works that are known to be difficult to get through. Good to know.

Ok, I made a reading list for myself from other lists and books/authors I had already been thinking about. These all won't be this year, but between my local library, borrow from friends, and maybe a couple purchases I'll get into this list as the year progresses. (going to post this in the...

Day 20 - Love Your Pet Day - Play something reminding you of a pet you've had. Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat Dinner time!

My ratings on the the last three books I've read have been 3, 3, and 2 out of 5. In other words, there's been nothing special in my early 2025 reads. I need to either lean on an author I already love, or read more reviews to narrow it down to something I'll be really into. I do have a couple...

Book 5 - Dengue Boy by Michel Nieva I can't recommend this book. Either the translation was really bad, or I just don't like Nieva's style. It was short so I powered to the end but it was almost a DNF. The premise sounded great so I bought it, but the writing style is came across as simple...

Day 19 - Tug Of War Day - Play something by someone you or others have a less than favorable opinion of at one point in time. When I was a kid I hated disco. Or thought I did. I wrote off plenty of good music because I had long hair and listened to Led Zeppelin. I was wrrr wrrrr wrong. In my...

Day 18 - National Drink Wine Day - Grab a drink and play a record that mentions an adult beverage (or favorite N/A drink). All the SNL stuff lately has me thinking of these guys, so here we go. The Blues Brothers - Hey Bartender

The newest White Lotus has Carrie Coon and Walton Goggins in it. That alone has me interested, so I watched E1 last night. Not a bad start. Mike White sure likes a certain type of young white dude to play an asshole each season.

Day 17 - National Random Acts Of Kindness Day - Play something by an artist that has proven they think of others. Sir Elton, the philanthropist.

Loving all the SNL material bouncing all over the place. NYT had a 13 best commercials list, I had never never seen this one...

Just once for me. I had six things in my cart at one point, and whittled it down to three.

Right? This special has been pretty good...the physical comedy segment was great.

It really has been. And nice write up. My good friend's son is a page at 30 Rock, and was at the concert and is in attendance for the special tonight. What an era for him to jump in. (He just started there in the fall) My friend, his dad, has been an SNL fan forever and is understandably beaming.

Day 16 - Do A Grouch A Favor Day - Play something you enjoy when you're grumpy or down in the dumps. The best warm hug an album can give.

Day 15 - Annoy Squidward Day - Play something that would annoy your best friend/spouse. Top three annoyer for sure.

Day 14 - Valentine's Day - Play something your spouse/crush likes PART TWO My wife said The Cure was her Led Zeppelin. I had to spin this for her. Also, I really like this album, this is probably our 4th listen together.

Day 14 - Valentine's Day - Play something your spouse/crush likes Fiona is a Top Five artist for my lovely.
