Oh My Gosh, this is a very well worded book. The writing style tells instead of shows, which I don‘t like, yet the story itself more than makes up for it. This is comprised of short stories. While issues are also popping up with the robots, nobody seems to really care. Because of how society “needs” the robots. This is an incredible book to be reading nowadays with how robots are becoming increasingly a part of our society.

The Skin of Our Teeth, by Thornton Wilder (1942)

Premise: In this classic play, humanity is portrayed in microcosm as a conventional, suburban American family.

Review: I‘m often surprised by just how early the pastiche, sense of play, and erasure of the fourth wall that I associate with postmodern literature appears in the canon. Cont.

Mattsbookaday This play, written during the Second World War, is exceedingly weird and surrealist, in a way that is simultaneously brilliant and a bit off-putting. It‘s sad and cynical, but also silly and hopeful. It‘s certainly not for everyone, but it‘s a deserved classic.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've never been one for physical activity, especially if it's to a practical end, so to relieve me from the tedium of mowing the lawn, we got a robomower!
In best Asimovian tradition, he's been anthropomorphised, and named Ian, after letters in his serial number. 🤖
I can take no credit for setting it up, which my practically-minded son kindly did when he visited yesterday.
Book and a glass of wine in the late evening sun? Don't mind if I do 😊

This collection of nine short stories published in 1950 is extraordinary with its vision of a future with robots. Each story could stand alone but they collectively tell a larger story. The famous “Three Laws of Robotics” first appears here. Really interesting and well-thought out. Hard to believe that this was written well before artificial intelligence was developed. Bravo!

Few ideas for 'Now' discussion of Sense & Sensibility. I can't wait to see what everyone read & watched! 📖📚📺

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Deblovestoread I didn't get to 2008 mini series. 😢 3mo
AnneCecilie @Deblovestoread I watched the same ones. I‘m so happy about I got to rewatch these 3mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnneCecilie it's pure comfort. 3mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I know! Suddenly it's Spring. 3mo
peanutnine I read the tagged because I love murder mysteries! It was excellent and I think true to the spirit of the original. I also watched the 1995 film, which is a favorite. I didn't know about a mini series! I'll have to check it out 3mo
CaramelLunacy @peanutnine I just finished Sense and Second Degree Murder as well. I had a good time with the investigations, and especially Margaret gathering material for her horrid novels! 3mo
CaramelLunacy I watched the movie From Prada to Nada, a contemporary retelling where Nora and Mary are spoiled rich girls in Beverly Hills and have to move in with a working class aunt when they lose their father. I had a good time, though Mary was so horrid at the beginning I had a hard time with her redemption. The big gesture at the end was utterly ridiculous, but the romantic in me went awwwww anyway! 3mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy if it makes you happy that's what matters. Sounds like a fun movie. 3mo
peanutnine @CaramelLunacy yes Margaret was an unexpectedly delightful character! 3mo
