What are You Reading Now?
I'd definitely recommend Innocents Abroad as a good starting point for the non-fiction. I shied away from Twain for years because the fiction seemed so parochial to me but the non-fiction really opened my perspective on him and helped me not think of him as a kid's book writer when I did come...- R_Elijah_Bailey

I had no idea this was a book. I wasn't interested in watching the movie but the premise of the trailer seemed my type so I'll definitely be picking this up.- R_Elijah_Bailey

What are You Reading Now?
I just finished reading a fascinating little novel called The Libary at Mount Char by a Scott Hawkins. I guess it's a crime/suspense/fantasy novel? Very gnostic and cult-ish in an interesting way.

What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]
Most recently my wife and I watched this really interesting movie called "The Ballad of Narayama" (1958). It's a highly-stylized Japanese movie about a village where, upon reaching the age of 70, the elders are carried by their oldest son to the top of a mountain and abandoned. The filming...- R_Elijah_Bailey

Great Photos Thread
Took my wife to Luray Caverns this past weekend and snapped a photo of a structure they call "Pluto's Ghost". Amazing place to check out if you're ever in western Virginia.- R_Elijah_Bailey
