Re-reading Norm Macdonald's drivel, what a load of horse****. I'd give it only a 9/10 and will only read it probably 6-7 more times. Critics are calling it everything from "****" to "****ing ****"

That's a fantastic cover illustration, though. :thumb:

His writing is so hard to read. F.scott now, that's smooth.

What's awesome is, you can tell the AI to read Tolkien, and have it re-written by F.Scott.

It's like Movies with ugly actors, and you just remake the movie with better looking ones.

The material is especially dense, and quite thorough. Scary what AI can do these days :confused:. Thanks for the tip!  :D

Hey, great to see another book thread here! I'm currently diving into the rich tapestry of "红楼梦" (Dream of the Red Chamber) by Cao Xueqin. I've always known it's a masterpiece, but the sheer volume of analysis and interpretations surrounding it was a bit intimidating at first.

I was worried I'd miss out on the deeper layers, but after dedicating myself to a couple of chapters each day for the past few weeks, I've realized something wonderful. It's a book that keeps giving, no matter what your age is. Because with different layer of life and history you experience it always brings you intelligence and beauty.

Next:
1. weak communication - the law of the jungle in the public opinion world [Zhendong Zhou]
2. Getting_Started_in_Electronics_-_3ed_-_[Forrest_M.Mims]
3. The Worlds I See【Fei-Fei Li】

habit:
I use my phone and audio book most times. Recently I rely on the audio book more.

“The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."

From the pen of Raymond Chandler comes his most famous character, Philip Marlowe, Private Investigator, in an all new crime-fighting adventure :cool:
