I’ve come to the realization that I do not read as diversely as I’d like (I tend to gravitate towards British authors). My brain grabbed onto the idea of reorganizing the books by country instead of just author and will not let this go.

Thursday is the day for ‘Mammogram 2: The Return of the Killer Mammogram!’ Seems I have some unusual distortions, so they want a more advanced mammogram, as well as an additional ultrasound sound, to be done.

COMIC: Batpug!
PANEL 1: Against a sunset purple-to-yellow sky, OSO, a fawn pug dressed in a cape and cowl like Batman, perches on the top of a building.
TEXT: BATPUG! It’s not who I am underneath, but what I DO that defines me.

PANEL 2: Close up on OSO as he jumps across a yellow-to-purple background.
TEXT: AND WHAT I DO….

PANEL 3: Cut to a bathroom vanity with a yellow bathmat on the ground. OSO, still in the cape and cowl, lifts his leg to pee. SHELDON comes running in, in shock, hands out to grab him.
TEXT: is consistently pee on the bath mat.

The book I’m currently reading involves four friends who discover a corpse with a stake through the heart in an abandoned hotel in a ghost town. The main character is a horror author and the other male lead, his best friend, is full of ideas with no little voice telling them those ideas are bad.

LIBRARIES BUY BOOKS. In fact, they buy ebook licenses with rather unfavorable terms because of how much the service benefits the community. The only people getting screwed in this situation are libraries and library users. The only people doing the screwing are publishers.

TODAY'S COMIC: Someone! www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/someone/
PANEL 1: A tubby, bald man wearing a white collared shirt, with a blue and orange striped tie, holds a AR-type riffle with one hand, shooting into the air. The bright yellow light casts harsh shadows on him.
MAN: Please! Someone stop this weapon that I’m clearly shooting!

PANEL 2: The man bends over to reload the weapon with a “KLAK” sound.
MAN: The weapon keeps reloading itself, with SERO INVOLVEMENT FROM ME!

PANEL 3: The man continues to shoot in to the air.
MAN: I have no agency here! Nothing that I could do —SAY WITH MY OWN FINGERS — could end this!

PANEL 4: The man, still shooting the gun, turns his back, still yelling over his shoulder.
MAN: WHY IS NOBODY STOPPING THIS THING I KEEP DOING???
On the back of his shirt reads: LITERALLY EVERY A.I. COMPANY.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.
[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

I’m reading ‘Valley of the Dolls’ for the first time and having to watch Anne make one bad decision after another is an exercise in frustration. The whole Helen thing… everyone Anne knows was telling her that Helen is manipulative. Didn’t listen. “But she was crying!” She’s an actress you twit!

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels is "Young Me".
In panel one we see a young version of Sarah, the protagonist. She says, "I want to achieve great things".
In panel two we zoom in a little on young Sarah's face. She continues, "An astounding career! An amazing house! World peace!"
The title for the last two panels is "Adult Me".
In panel three we see adult Sarah, looking down.
In panel four we zoom out and see she is in front of a basil plant. She simply says "I want to grow a basil plant".
