(Books)
A couple months ago, I posted about a book cover by David Drummond. I promise not to continually link to his blog, but he just recently posted another that is emotionally powerful and remarkably simple.

BookMooch looks seriously cool. I can’t help but think I’ve come across this before (a long time ago) but whatever…I’ve made new contact.
Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you’ve read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish.
….Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every three you receive.
The only cost associated with all of this that of shipping your books to those who’ve made the request. The site itself appears to do nothing more than serve as a matchmaker.
As enthusiastic as I am right now about doing this, I have a long and sordid history of initial energy for something followed by little to no follow through. But this time will be different! My fingers are in the crossed position!

It’s like this smorgasbord of cool stuff all packaged together in one neat little news-worthy package. Yes, the world does revolve around me.
I love The Wire
I also really enjoyed Cormac Mccarthy’s book The Road
He looked at his father and then tilted the can and drank. He sat there thinking about it. It’s really good, he said.
Yes. It is.
You have some, Papa.
I want you to drink it.
You have some.
He took the can and sipped it and handed it back. You drink it, he said. Let’s just sit here.
The Road has been transformed into a movie, and Omar (Michael K. Williams) is in it as (ironically enough) “The Thief”.
