Another favorite: The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, a memoir by Elizabeth Tova Bailey. The narrator, a woman in her 30s, is stricken with disease that leaves her unable to move. Her only pastime is watching a snail that was in a plant gifted her by a friend.

Since when did Project 2025 get to direct our foreign policy?
Who was the author of Project 2025? I really want to know whether it's the American version of Mein Kampf.

Watching another Jane Austen adaptation, screenplay by Andrew Davies: Sense and Sensibility. I am loving this version. ❤️❤️❤️ The movie version, all the actors were too old for the parts they played, IMHO. And I usually love Emma Thompson & Kate Winslet.
