@samuelpepys Lately I'm reading #DavidGrann's excellent book #TheWager and you pop up there often, Sam. For a guy who died in 1703 you're quite busy.

Nothingness

I truly don’t mind the cold; I enjoy snow and blustery winds and cozy fires and hot cocoa. Arguably, I suffer much more in unusually hot weather than I do in unusually cold weather. But even I have a limit.

The man felt like a speck in the frozen nothingness. Every direction he turned, he could see ice stretching to the edge of the Earth: white ice and blue ice, glacial-ice tongues and ice wedges. There were no living creatures in sight. Not a bear or even a bird. Nothing but him.

~ David Grann from, The White Darkness

That is far, far beyond my limit.

I felt bored watching Killers of the flower moon, I even went to see with my smartphone's flashlight if bedbugs weren't having fun around my seat. #LeonardoDiCaprio and #RobertDeNiro act bad It's distracting. Lily Gladstone is fine. After reading the flamboyant book by David Grann, i think its adaptation was narrow and plane. What I liked: Some great shots (Scorsese!) and the movie points straight at evil, ignorance and greed. #Killersoftheflowermoon #scorsese #davidgrann #movie #cinema #bedbug

"But although the bureau was able to capture a few of these killers, there really was this much deeper and darker conspiracy that the bureau never exposed. And when I met with so many of those #Osage elders, they began to tell me about these other killings in their families that had never been properly investigated. I realized that this was a story about this culture of killing, about these many people who were committing these crimes." (#DavidGrann)

I do not like audio books.
My focus leaves & before long, I realize I have no idea what’s going on. Also, I don’t find listening to a book near as enjoyable as reading it, something gets lost in the process.

All that to say, I’ve been listening to this one. Granted, it’s taken me 2 times of checking it out at the library. These are all true stories that cover many subjects & the endings all make you think, which I love. I highly recommend.

Even if you hate audio books 😉
