I'll make some other recommendations --- including some wonderful poetry --- but start with Jim's 1979 breakthrough book, Legends of the Fall. It is composed of three novellas. Here's a review.

Jim thought critics were vermin and best ignored.

Since this is Timmy Q&A time, You have on the ground knowledgez about Jonestown and wrote about it in one of your books. I'm wondering if you've listened to his story on the Martyr Made podcast with Darryl Cooper. I started listening on the recommendation of someone on FB without paying much at...

Yes, I knew Jim. We were friends for a couple of decades.

Happy to answer your question. Where is it?

I'm a moderator in Training and KBs. All I ever do is nothing. I will see if there is anything I can do later this evening when I have some time. Anyone with any idea of how to do this, please let me know.

I think I'll beat them to the punch with my book, 15 years in the making: "Iron Garm and the Piss Monkeys."

The subtitle is "Propain, of Coarse."

That's obviously.

As a bleeding heart leftie, I found Tiabbi's argument persuasive. I guess when it comes down to it, I'll take free speech over any agenda.

The Boogaloo Bois are involved. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/17/boogaloo-steven-carrillo/ As protests gripped Oakland on May 29, a white van pulled up outside a federal courthouse. A door slid open, and a man peppered the two security officers outside with bullets, killing one and ...

Go to 15:20 for the start of it.

Damn straight. Imma take the 12 gauge and parade around in front of the post office to show folks there's nothing to be afraid of.

Every single value of your generation is collapsing.

Yep, you missed it. Is that what's bothering you, Bunky.

Fat Cat wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 6:07 pm LOL get the fuck out. Yes, the crowds of black rioters are actually crypto-white supremacists.

They're in blackface.

The Boogaloo Bois are involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogaloo_movement Some boogaloo groups joined the protests against law enforcement that occurred across the United States in May 2020 in response to the killing of George Floyd.[8][9] According to Vice, although the boogaloo groups tried ...

Done.

You did good. For once.

Bill, I remember several years ago when you were struggling with your English. But you persisted. And I recall that later you read Lonesome Dove in English and were able to discuss it with us in much better English. Now, a few years later, I'm amazed and delighted to see you teaching English. Well d...

As the good Dr. Donkey prescribes, the book by Bernal Diaz del Castillo, a conquistador who was there, is absolutely fucking incredible. Prescott's Conquest of Mexico is great storytelling and literature to boot. If you want to start with one, Bernal Diaz is where you want to go. He was on the front...

Movie first. You're in for a treat.

A Chinese spy.

Broken, by Don Winslow
A book of six novellas by the author of Power of the Dog. Great fun, great writing, great stories.

If you happen to be a Winslow fan and have read all his books, many characters in his previous books show up.

Highly recommended.

Use gas grill for burgers, or the weather is lousy.

My solution for cold weather BBQ or grilling is to simply throw a welding mat over the grill.

My double grill solution. Because I can't seem to get the right temp on charcoal grill much less on a Big Green Egg like Shape got for father's day, I have gone with a Weber three-burner propane grill with a sear station. And I have a Camp Chef pellet grill. If you are unfamiliar with pellet grills,...

The election is in November. Most folks will have gone through that $1200 by then. The question will be "what have you done for me lately?"

The Prisoner. The opening/intro is worth a watch if you're not familiar with this one.
