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??

A delightful collection stories with some set in Australia.

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, 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)

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.

Pour myself a cup of ambition🎶
Grateful for a bit of reading time before the grind begins!

Christmas is over,
the new year is underway —
time for a vacation.

Is it just me or is anybody else a little burnt out right now? I‘ve got the January blues. 😌
