I'm reading whatever I can get free or cheap for my kindle. I have something like 6 pages of unreads I need to read.

Speaking of kindles, I'm on my 3rd keyboard since Christmas. I've had two within the past week. The first one, the screen did that "shatter" thing, the replacement was fuged from the start freezing up and rebooting itself, and so far so good on the replacement's replacement.

If anyone else has a kindle, I don't mind loaning books. Most of mine are SciFi, Paranormal, and Mystery.

I have a Kindle. How do you loan a book?

I thought I recognized Errol's name. He has made some nice films over the years. Top notch

yea, really interesting book on how the little details of photographs alter our perception of events and how editing and staging of famous photos have changed our perception of history... really good stuff.

saw this Decoded episode about Harry Houdini(btw, got a screenplay quasi related to him cooking) and it was bout how Houdinie and London became great friends but HH had an affair with London's wife.

HH was a super interesting guy as Im sure London was too.

He must have had a lot of interesting friends. I remember reading about Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being friends as well. Doyle believed Houdini had supernatural powers and refused to believe Houdini when he suggested otherwise.

I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo. It came up in a thread a while back and I decided to start it the next day. Im not quite half way through so I still have a long way to go.

That is a long ass book. Had to Spark Notes that sh*t a few years back for class. I read 5 pages before realizing I would never get close to finishing it.

Good luck though.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
