Tolkien on sale on Kindle today

Missed it

Slow Horses

Gary Oldman is just superb.

And the trailer doesn't do justice to the series. We're half way through seaon 2 now.

Voronwë, I have ambivalent feelings about it. On the con side - and the reason the relevant laws exist - society would be a hostile place indeed if hate speech were allowed to dress itself in official clothing. For the pro argument, we'd have loud red flags telling us who needs to be avoided - or at...

I enjoyed that a lot, Frelga.

Was very reassuring that there was no satanic, blood sacrificing pedo ring down there stashing weapons for and also against Hamas.


(And I'd better add - in case of misunderstanding - that the above is sarcasm)

Sadness

I feel as if I am witness to Beleriand sinking beneath the waves.

Inanna, those ornaments are lovely! Talented young woman.

The quality of the readers is indeed patchy but the good ones are excellent! I suggest you 'taste-test' before downloading.

And now, I'm also trotting off to my kindle to see to the new Murderbot book!

Guess who won

It was one of the sombre topics of discussion at our recent family dinner.

Look! Entmoot!
Actually a fabulous photo in the Fasilides castle taken by a friend during travels in Gonder (correct spelling) Ethiopia. The tree roots grow into the former pool.

The No campaign used scare tactics and misinformation.

The booth I was at yesterday had a 70 / 30 stream of yes voters, and I foolishly got my hopes up.

I was taken aback by the result - not that the proposal was defeated but that not one state passed it.

Agree with Frelga; and some way to limit bribes/donations.

I do hope a bit of levity isn't considered out of order in this thread.

I have Delta-V downloaded but need to read three others on my shelf before the loan expires!

More Martha Wells sounds good!

Eight of those writers are also on my list; the other 4 I don't know but I'll rectify that.

I read Nettle and Bone and agree it's fluffy and fun.
Haven't read the others.

I've been reading crime lately and have discovered Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley series. A great find!

Bill found his way to Tom's house IIRC?

This.

Impossible for me to add anything substantive, but this. On this list of history's worst human-caused disasters - was not accidental, or consequent to neglect, but deliberate.

Sunny, that's really cool...makes that link through thousands of years of history tangible; the human chain of craftspeople who did what you do in the same way.
