It's late and I have a lot going on. When I get some time over the weekend I will put on my accountant hat (green eyeshade? ) and take a look at those financials.

The books I recommended aren't on par with Dickens or Austen
I got in trouble in a college English lit class for saying I thought Jane Austen was boring.

How many still getting boosters?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA ineither you think the governing body was correct giving direction to be fully vaccinated and do you will keep getting the boosters, or.... if you don’t think the boosters are safe and you decide not to keep getting them then you are admitting that the direction was wrong.. if the direction was indeed harming brothers and sister who kept going to get these injections because of the covid updates then this is a huge wake up call?.
how could this direction from the gb who are i doubt jehovah give such harmful direction?.

Either you think the governing body was correct giving direction to be fully vaccinated and do you will keep getting the boosters, or...
if you don’t think the boosters are safe and you decide not to keep getting them then you are admitting that the direction was wrong.
False dichotomy. Some of us don't consult the Governing Body about anything.

That is a really interesting graphic, thanks.
Back to the OP, I forgot to mention Robert A Heinlein, if you like science fiction he's a must read. Almost anything he wrote is good.

I am very picky when it comes to movies made from books. I seriously disliked the Lynch version, but then I don't like much of anything he does. A second part to the latest version is due out this year, I'm withholding judgement until it gets here.
The books are philosophically interesting. Herbert has created a fascinating culture and ecosystem. The primary influence on the people that live on the planet "Dune" is Islamic, the primary influence on the ecosystem is a planet-wide desert inhabited by giant worms. That description doesn't do the book justice by a long shot.
The other books are an alternate history trilogy about a war between the United States and Japan in 1910, and its aftermath. The other is a historical novel set in the Revolutionary war. The first three sold well, maybe because everybody was locked inside by COVID. The other two haven't sold as well, which is why I slip in plug when I can. I invented a church for "Armageddon's Disciples" and I've started blogging about that process. See jeffthomasbooks.net

Science fiction:
Dune by Frank Herbert.
The Mote in God's Eye by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet
1984 by George Orwell
I have five novels self-published on Amazon. One, "Armageddon's Disciples" was inspired by fifteen years in the Cult.

That mess with the AAWA was my introduction to Lloyd Evans. I might have been aware of the "John Cedars" user name but I don't remember anything in particular about him. I still have not heard a rational explanation for how anybody justified putting the name of nonexistent person on the legal incorporation documents. The best scenario I can come up with is that nobody thought to get legal help.
But it was the outing of PIMOs that showed his true colors. The absolute refusal to take responsibility for seriously harming a lot of people is inexcusable. It seems that he has lurched from one mess to another. And people get hurt every time.

Disney Star Wars makes another retarded choice
by LoveUniHateExams inwhat is it with disney star wars?
why is it that seemingly everything disney touches turns to shit?

The magic of Star Wars pretty much ended with the final scene of Return of the Jedi.
This.
I'm a lifelong Science Fiction fan. Wife and I saw "Star Wars" at the first opportunity and loved every second of it. That is a great movie, even if bits and pieces of earlier works are scattered through it. The visuals are good, John Williams score if perfect.
The next two films were OK, but didn't grab me. I've pretty much hated everything since then.
