News Of The Week

Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. It was a quiet week, so there’s not much news to report. I hope things pick up in the territory this week. When I’m back from vacation maybe I’ll try a few new ideas. Speaking of my vacation, I might post a little blog about our cruise here. I’m still undecided.

I hope everyone has a great week.

Siggy’s Suggestions

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? By Philip K Dick by @Scoresby

Here is another great book review by @Scoresby. I don’t fully understand zaprank, but this could easily have been a Top Five post. I really appreciate these book reviews, which add to long term quality content in the territory.

Fun Fact Friday, Animal Edition by @cryotosensei) You can always count on @cryotosensei to produce good content. This post was jam packed with very interesting facts. I hope this becomes a regular feature in the territory.

You'd think someone would have reviewed Dune. It's all anyone was talking about for about a week.

Oh man. I screwed up. I will include it in next week's book reviews. You need to double check everything I do.

No problem. Just giving you a hard time.

I just added it to next week's. My brain is already on the cruise drinking Pina Coladas.

76 sats \ 16 replies \ @Undisciplined 16 Mar

I hope it's a lot of fun. You actually got my wife and I talking about what cruise we want to do next, even though we probably won't do one until like 2026.

I learned I am not a cruiser. It's far too structured for my liking--like living in a city with a bunch of appointments.

I've never been required to schedule anything on a cruise. My wife and I like Norwegian. I think they call their model "free-style cruising". There's a whole bunch of options for what to do and there are always lots of spaces that aren't occupied with events, if your like us and just enjoy walking around and talking.

Have you ever done one of those European river cruises?

110 sats \ 8 replies \ @grayruby fwd 16 Mar

Is that the Viking river cruises? My wife wants to do one of those. She has never been to Europe. I went once but that was almost 25 years ago.

Viking is a popular choice but not the only one

I’ve heard River cruise 🚢 in Europe is fun from non cruise travelers

Oh no. I was just asking. We're just getting on a boat right out of NYC. I was always curious about them, but I think I'd rather visit Europe trains, planes and automobiles. I've done it that way a few times over the years. I did take a mediterranean cruise years ago. That was nice.

Where did that go?

I've wanted to do one that goes from Amsterdam to Istanbul, but we haven't gotten around to it yet.

Your quote post is a highlight every week. Thanks. Hey, when does the real March Madness start?

Brackets get announced tomorrow. I believe the first four is Tuesday and Wednesday and the first round starts Thursday. I will post the pool on Monday.
