My mom told me about this short story after watching a "documentary" video about the movie Idiocracy. Are there any other fans of the movie on here??

They were full of envy at the office when Meg told them she was going to Australia for a month on December 11th.

Here‘s a “book-related” post that succinctly explains the current state of the U.S. for those who are still trying to ignore it. Or even worse —justify it.

I love noir this time of year, and Hanukkah related noir made it extra fun.

Interpreter of Maladies | Jhumpa Lahiri

Interpreter of Maladies, by Jhumpa Lahiri (1999)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Pulitzer-Prize-winning collection of stories about South Asian lives, particularly in the diaspora in the United States.

Review: A quarter-century after its publication, not only does this hold up, but it actually feels fresh and interesting — a lot fresher than her more recent work, which hasn‘t worked for me

Bookish Pair: Peacocks of Instagram, by Deepa Rajagopalan (2024)

MaGoose Agreed. I greatly enjoyed this book more than her other work. I've already read this book twice and will probably buy and read it again. 1d
Mattsbookaday @MaGoose Yeah the person who recommended it to me lists it as his favourite all time book that he‘s re-read three times and I can understand why! 1d

Unexpected Stories | Octavia E. Butler

A short listen from the queen of Futurism.
It was a bit unbalanced the first story being more than twice as long and in depth then the second. But this is a fantastic book for someone who needs an introduction to OEB both stories are unrelated but have the same themes and ideas as her series.
