Good evening folks -

Next up is "The Moon and the Bonfires" by the Italian author Cesare Pavese - coming soon. Hope those of you in Europe are hanging in there. I hear that heat is brutal. Have a nice weekend, and thank you very much for your continued support.

Book to read: The Quark and the Jaguar by Murray Gell-Mann (Paid Link)A book written by the theoretical physicist responsible for discovering the 'quark' and who was also a friend of Cormac McCarthy, who helped Gell-Mann a bit with this book. Found out about Murray Gell-Mann in this talk with McCarthy.

Ingmar Bergman's DemonsAn interesting confessional interview.

"Sin Eating"An examination by the channel "Past and Curious" of a strange old practice I'd never heard of. Begs the question of course - What does Sin taste like?

"Why the Original Wicker Man (1973) Was Intentionally Erased"A fascinating investigation from the channel Golden Flicker. Nicely done. Had no idea that it left the director Robin Hardy's family in such a terrible place.

Killin' Time by Clint BlackHeard a fellow in a local bar doing an acoustic cover of this the other night. Pretty solid Country music.
