Enjoyed Queen's Gambit. Walter Tevis was particularly good at dialogue. His style is understated but powerful. He was also a social conscious writer. So I'm likely to read all his books. Started Mockingbird, his sci-fi book, and I'm hooked already.

My new favorite chess opening is 1c4 2e4, a variation on The English. Sometimes I bring one of the knights out on 2, and if my opponent plays 1..d5, I'll play 2e3. Anyway, 1c4 2e4 is the usual, however, that variation is not included in Modern Chess Openings. Anyone know why? #chess

Just finished The Running Man. Nothing like the movie, which I like. The book is gritty and dark in ways the movie didn't even touch. Surprised they haven't made this into a movie again. Give it an early Black Mirror sheen and it would work,I think.

Two songs that regularly pop into my head, even tho I don't actively try to listen to them, nor are they favorites:

Hey Jude by The Beatles
There She Goes by The La's

I use Amazon Music and after this album ended it went straight to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying.

In Ether by WE ARE NUMBERED_ on Apple Music Album Β· 2023 Β· 9 Songs

I took this and other We Are Numbered_ stuff off streaming a while ago and hearing it now I don't know why. Like, I've forgiven its faults over time. Or I'm just not seeing them now. Whatever. I quite like this one, actually.

Random memory: In junior college my English professor asked me if I was gonna write the Great American Novel and when I said yes he said, Too bad, it's already been written.

And Spotify if you like supporting evil pricks that take my royalties, together with every other small artist on their platform, and pool them together to give to Taylor Swift and Co. so that they can make a little more money than they already do, the poor souls.
