Yeah I get it and I dont deny that. Having never read the books though, I find the movies to be somewhat difficult to follow and with the exception (probably) of the first movie, I simply dont find them memorable or ranked high in my own mind as something I want to re watch.
Oh sick Thucydides huh? How about Thucydides nuts?
I’ve always found Harry Potter universe to be quite campy. But I also never got into Lord of the Rings and thought Game of Thrones was awful so my opinion on television media may not be average or popular.
The image presents us with a view of five organisms, implicitly these are cats. It has been said that when fire erupted in Ancient Egypt the citizens would have to stand guard aroind buildings, at intervals to prevent the cat from a ‘divine seizure’ as the cats would rush into the burning buildings, killing them. (Herodotus) Would that this were the case in our time, I ought do the same for these cats as your photograph has presented them in a kindly and genuine fashion such that I want not for them to burn or any other calamity.
I quite like how they are seen to even exceed the politeness of many humans, they are socially distanced exquisitely, whereas many people-in my experience-are absent skills and politeness in small and/or large social settings. However, it has occurred to me that they are eating-which changes the view, at least a little.
This was a nice thing for me to see today, Thanks
Good job with this post
Time to read yes
For me its the attention amd focused I’ve got time, just not tje attention and motivation (I fantasize but procrastinate)
I have been the 3rd or 4th dune book for about a year now (I have been on the last 50 pages or so for probably 6 montjs)
I have resd the first half or so of Don Quixote about 3 times
I habe now started to read Herodotus Histories for the 2nd time (didn’t finish last time stopped around half way thru Book 2)
And I made the (fortuitous?) mistake of starting Hitch hikers Guide to the galaxy twice now and I did really enjoy it right off the bat, so that one might rise to the top of the list lol
I have also begun reading Amadis of Gaul due to interest in Medeival Chicalry novels and I’ve yet to finish King Arthur (Mark Twain) whereat I only have maybe 100pgs left. (Not a good book, TBH but it gives some background to Quixote as does Amadis of Gaul
LOTR is definitely also in this ridiculous list of want to reads. As is
Divine Comedy Aeneid Decameron Pilgrims Progress Infinite Jest Grapes of Wrath Something by Ishiguro Metamorphosis etc etc etc
I should make a post about this so.I can properly.vent instead of ‘hijacking comments’
