A series adapted from Robert Crais' Elvis Cole books, with Adam Driver playing Joe Pike. Not sure who would play Elvis Cole though?

I think we should all be working a 4 day week for the same pay as a 5 day week, with a pro rata equivalence for those not working 5 days a week.

the briefcase in Umbrella Academy acts as a portal to alternate timelines; there are also many portals in 'The Rivers of London' books by Ben Aaronovitch; the portal into the online world of 'Snowcrash' by Neil Stephenson; the storm drains in Derry in Stephen King's 'It' are portals for the

I am looking for recommendations for well researched books on the history and mythology of circuses from around the world. I only read English, so it needs to be an English translation or an English language book. #circus #history #mythology

Footnotes should only have info about the source in them. They shouldn't be used to add extra text, its just bad writing, as it breaks the flow. It's like trying to follow 2 conversations at the same time. I've given up on a lot of books partway for just this reason.

I have just listened to this episode and would love to recommend a 'survival' story featuring a woman. 'A Woman in the Polar Night' was written by the Austrian painter Christiane Ritter and is her account of how she made a life for herself and her husband through the winter of 1933 in the arctic.

Me too, as I take in information better in written form. However, some of my friends prefer it due to their needs.
