"Reading 'The Odyssey,,' translated by T.E. Lawrence, so that I may laff even harder at the Emily Wilson sourced, Christopher Nolan directed 'The Odyssey.' Immediately seeing that the 2026 wordage uttered in the movie does not begin to do justice to the original, granted, translated into English. Like using 1950's 'Leave it to Beaver' verbiage in '3rd Rock from the Sun.' It'd sound as stupid as Damon's "Let's Go!'" — Jun 01, 2026 08:59PM

"Patricia Cornwell simply provides pretty much guaranteed interesting and addicting writing, which is why I'm reading this 17th title in the Scarpetta series as a bedtime book. She provides plenty of conflict among the characters who have depth and history, mystery and often gives the reader 'food for thought.' A person just can't go wrong, even neurotypicals." — Jun 01, 2026 09:08PM
