Still ignoring all my part read novels for non fiction on #kindle.

Christmas shopping season seems to have triggered my anti consumerist mindset lol.

This is the 3rd edition from 2014. Still has plenty of relevance but will be behind the ever increasing curve, given the horrors of Tik Tok shop, Stanley Cup frenzy etc

Luke-XVX No book updates in awhile, hope you‘re doing ok! 3mo
Balibee146 Hey @Luke-XVX thanks for your ask - that's so thoughtful of you. I got a new android phone and not having the app is a barrier to coming on here for me. Still reading - though a lot of non fiction always at this time of year. Hope you are well and all is good! 3mo
Luke-XVX Ahh that‘s a tad frustrating! Coming down with something but I‘m generally ok. Desperate to stick to my new book ban for the year! 3mo

Balibee146 @Luke-XVX ah no.. 3mo
Balibee146 @Luke-XVX hope you feel better quickly. I am allowed one specific book that is out in April and that's it. Not an easy ask but I have so many tbr I already own lol 3mo
Luke-XVX Thank you! I‘ll dose up and hit the lemon ginger teas hard! 3mo
Luke-XVX What book are you waiting on? 3mo
Balibee146 @Luke-XVX nice tea choice. The book I'm allowing myself. Is the third. One in the Mark Lawrence Library trilogy 3mo
Balibee146 An easy and fun read and I like things that are timey-whimey 😂 3mo
Luke-XVX I had to look him up on Goodreads and it turns out I‘ve read one of his and have that library on my “want to read” list. One day! 3mo
Balibee146 @Luke-XVX "one day" is my book reading motto lol. Which one did you read before? 3mo
Luke-XVX Prince of thorns. I was quite surprised by the language in it. A decent read though. 3mo

I read this book years ago (written in 2007). I have pulled it out to re-read it. Anyone who wants to understand how our global economy works & the labor that is used, this is an eye opening book. Especially now that we are entering a new era of backlash against immigration & migrant workers. Many US companies use modern slave labor as their workforce. It‘s easy to turn a blind eye or blame others if we don‘t know the circumstances.

1. Last year, Universal Studios in Osaka Japan!

2. No. There's barely time to get to all the stuff we want to see/do/ride, let alone read.

jewright I so want to go to Japan! Was it a good trip? 9mo
TheSpineView Japan sounds like a wonderful trip! Thanks for playing! 9mo
The_Penniless_Author @jewright Easily the best trip we've taken. If you're ever able to save up the money and time to do it, don't hesitate. It's an easy country to get around, not intimidating at all. Even the most mundane things are interesting to someone who's not from there, so you don't even need a lot of planning. We still visited a decent number of tourist sites, but often just wandering around, shopping and using public transportation was as much fun. 9mo

Ruthiella Thanks for the tag! I‘ve not been to an amusement park in decades and I would never take a book for the same reasons you cite. 9mo
dabbe Will do; thanks for the tag! 😊 9mo
jewright @The_Penniless_Author—My grandfather was stationed there after WWII, so my dad was actually born in Japan. I grew up hearing lots of stories, so I‘ve always wanted to go. 9mo

Just watched Brats, the documentary on Hulu and this book was mentioned in it. The documentary was interesting and so well done. Now I have to read this because I am a huge fan of those films and the actors that were part of The Brat Pack.

Bageant describes school shootings as "rare and declining." To be fair, this book was published in 2007, and sadly, Bageant died in 2011, long before Sandy Hook, Uvalde, etc. Other than his views on gun control (which I'm confident that someone as smart as Bageant would have eventually altered had he lived long enough), I agree with him on everything else. The closing chapter American Hologram is brilliant. #2024Book18 ?✝️
