According to Libby I did 116 in 2025. My guess is 80% are audio books and I probably didn't finish 10 so 106 seems right. I think I read 5 non Kindle books also.

I'm gonna shoot for 100 this year. I have some massive ones on my tbr that I'm going to tackle, Lonesome Dove I'll probably start at the end of January or beginning of February.
I love The 'Burbs but I'll probably give this a shot. Keke Palmer is usually pretty good and I like Paula Pell.
This is the end of the Netflix deal. That doesn't mean Netflix won't try to resign them but Johnson can take them anywhere he wants and he seems to want a theatrical run.
You think people might have been fooled by that AI video? Did you watch it?
I just watched this on HBO and wanted to bump it in case others were wanting to check it out.

It's really good, I was surprised at how much Jeff Buckley basically narrates the movie taken from older interviews and old voicemails.
This show is like if Chinatown was being investigated by the stupidest person you know. I love it.
I love this show. I have no idea what's happening or will happen but I love it.

I read it a few years ago and really liked it. I do think it took me two tries to get into it for some reason though.

His next book Deluge, I found to be too unwieldy. It's like 900 plus pages and has way too many characters and povs. By the time it ended I couldn't recall what had happened to a few characters.

Criterion Channel Black Friday Sale

The streaming service is 25% off for the year until Monday. $75 instead of $100. A lot of the movies show up on other services (HBO and Kanopy) but I think it's my most used service. I've had it for going on 3 years now and they are always adding and removing things.

I heard Mubi is also running the same deal.

Biopics in general are meh at best. 9 times out of 10 I’d have rather just watched a documentary on the artist.


The problem with the vast majority of biopics is the conflict. A Complete Unknown the conflict was he wanted to go electric and the folk scene didn't want that. From here in the future not much of a conflict I know who Dylan is so it worked our for him. This Springsteen one he was struggling with depression and wanted to put out this album. Again, in the future I know how it worked out.

I guess you could make a biopic about an unknown artist and I can wonder how the conflict goes but usually that's not the kind they make anymore.
I set the YouTube DVR thing for The Hot Rock. It's weirdly been very hard to watch for several years. I think there's a Blu-ray that's like $100 or more on eBay.

I saw it Friday and really liked it. I think JAW was very good but he doesn't disappear into the role or anything and he does his own singing. I am a Bruce fan and a Nebraska fan and read the book last week. I'm not sure the appeal for a non Bruce fan and it's not a typical jukebox musical, outside of Born to Run and Born in the USA it's basically all songs from Nebraska.

I did like it better than A Complete Unknown but think Chalamet was a better Dylan than JAW was Bruce.
