OT: Book thread

Since we already won this week (love saying that).I thought I would see what you guys were reading or recommend reading? I finished Ready Player One this week which was Fantastic! One of the best books I have read in a long time. I looked forward to reading it every night until I finished it.

Now I’m trying to see what to go to next and thought we needed a fresh book thread.

Feel free to contribute fiction/non-fiction or whatever your pleasure.

Nashville school shooting leaves 6 dead, including 3 children

Nothing to see here, right? There's a better description for a school shooting these days -- Monday. And I know this is going to be hard to believe, but the shooter, a woman, likely had two ARs and a handgun.

Someone like Ted Cruz will offer up his standard "Heidi and I are sending our thoughts and prayers...." and this whole thing will be forgotten by Wednesday.

OT: Fascinating evesdropping

Alrighty...let’s get the big issue out of the way...yes, I’m a scumbag... but we knew that already and let’s not have that get in the way...

I am sitting here in Whatburger having my #4 in between shopping stops, and this woman sits down about two booths over and what caught my eye, aside from her enormous cans, was the fact that she seems a bit overdressed for Whataburger... (which is a funny phrase in itself) she’s wearing a green sequined blouse of the type you’d expect her to wear to the company Christmas party of the wholesale carpet company where I suspect she probably works as an accounts payable clerk. She’s mid to late 30’s.

In walks a guy, roughly the same age, not overdressed for Whataburger... and she stands and says “I recognized you when you got out of your truck...” or something like that and they do that “lean-in” hug thingy and they sit down and she grabs his hands across the table...

It is like they met on line and this is their first in-person meeting... from the body language she seems to be pinging him to see if he’s on the up and up without trying to be too obvious about it. This is entertaining...I went and refilled my large drink.... I wish I had ordered the large fries.
