They also had some very deep sexual references that I'm surprised got through the censors unless they thought they were so deep almost no one would recognize them.

What podcasts did you find, what are you reading, now? I am listening to Slow Burn: Watergate, from the Slate website. It is pretty interesting, about the Watergate break in and some of the minor players along with the big ones. I like historical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a good one on Agnew over a year ago, Bagman. Her new one Ultra is very good and scary too. I have listened to 2 episodes and I am amazed how I don't remember hearing much of anything about the topic in my history classes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Finished Death without Company and getting to the suspenseful part on Sacred Bridge...it's so nerve wracking I want to read it but had to put it down for a day or two. One of the main characters is getting into a undercover situation and I am scared it's going to go badly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Confessions of a Recovering Engineer I am a civil engineer. I've been taking more and more of an interest in transportation issues and the problems of the status quo of design practices in recent years. This and other resources have helped me question my own profession, and help determine what types of infrastructure I want to help design and build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Spielberg used Tom Sawyer in the movie version of Ready Player One. Is that why you are reading the books? No, not everything is about RUSH but it seems like a good reference/first step in being interested in the franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - the Rush connections are a side-note really. Same level of importance as every other Easter Egg in the book and movie. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't bother watching the film, the book was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
