Carvan Alex Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Star Wars- Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void. Probably not the best Star Wars book written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 A Thousand Cuts: The Bizarre Underground World of Collectors and Dealers Who Saved the Movies by Dennis Bartok and Jeff Joseph  New book from the library. It's very good and pretty sad. Studios are no longer keeping many film copies of movies, now that everything has been digitized. Apparently there can be huge differences in the color and lighting when you see a real film vs digital, like there can be big differences in the sound of vinyl vs. an mp3 of a song. Private collectors are the ones keeping film alive, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of shorts and art films but classics as well. Nobody knows how to run a projector anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwillchooseFreeWill Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I am reading Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. This is in a new genre I would call "cozy" space opera. Like Nathan Lowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Speaking American: How Y'all, Youse, and You Guys Talk: A Visual Guide, by Josh Katz. A guide and map to regional speaking in the U.S. Garage sale, rummage sale, stoop sale and tag sale. Soda, pop, coke, and cocola. Does caramel have two or three syllables? Pecan or pecahn? And in relation to the title, the uniquely Pittsburgh term, "yins." No mention of "park the car in Harvard yard." Edited March 26, 2017 by pjbear05 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) A couple more Iris Murdoch books. I finished The Time of the Angels (second time through- the first time was only about a year and a half ago)...and just started The Black Prince, which I haven't read in about seven years.
