Zombie Movie of the Day .....


The Returned (2013)


"In a post-zombie world, where the infected live normal lives, their retroviral drug is running out."




My comments: Although there are some "zombie" gore moments, this is an intelligently written movie, using zombie-ism as a metaphor for any disease that makes one a social pariah. It speculates on what would happen if the medicine to keep the zombie disease in check became scarce, both on a political and a personal level. Fear and desperation make people into monsters just as much as the virus does. Worth watching if zombie gore doesn't bother you. Several plot twists, kept my interest.

Physics Joke of the day I wrote ...

.
.
.
Three blind physicists lived together in house. One day an old old elephant escaped from the zoo, wandered into the physicists living room, and, alas, died of old age. When the physicists tried to walk through the room, they discovered that something was blocking them. They began to feel around to discover what this thing was.


The first physicist touched the tip of the elephants tail and felt it. "This is a rope we have here!" he declared.


The second physicist also grabbed the tip of the elephants tail and said. "I agree with my learned colleague, this is indeed a rope."


The third physicist felt around and stroked the elephants tail. "I concur! This is a rope." he proclaimed.


The three physicists decided to publish a paper about their findings. They called it "rope theory".

Audio Book Recommendation of the Day ....


Midnight Crossroad: A Novel of Midnight Texas by Charlaine Harris


Susan Bennett (Narrator)
...
"Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.


There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).
Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth..."


My comments: This is vintage Charlaine Harris and it has rekindled my awestruck near worship of her talents. This book has everything I love best about her writing, it's smart, funny, insightful, poetic, powerful interesting and literally enchanting.


She has created another fantasy world that I stepped right into, loving (almost) everyone there, and living their adventures with them, She has once again brought to life a cast of characters that I feel are my friends. If the series continues they will most likely become my companions. Her next book Day Shift is due out in May. I'll be the first in line to get it.


Susan Bennett the narrator does a perfect job of bringing the people and others of Midnight to life. Once again I felt like a child discovering the secret door to a fascinating magical world under the cover of a book.

Audio Book Recommendation of the Day .....


First Evidence  by Ken Goddard 


Kevin Kenerly (Narrator)


"A science fiction novel that doesn't smack you in the face with space ships and outlandish aliens. Rather, it is a story that evolves through the police investigation of a reported shooting. Crime Scene Investigator Colin Cellars is called to the scene of a multiple shooting and finds a crime scene that doesn't fit his expectations. Something is out of place, but Colin can't seem to put his finger on it. He knows he's being watched, but not by whom and why."


Amazon Review By Heather Pearson


My comments: Great exciting audio book. Scary, suspenseful, and full of forensic details of an investigation into mysterious events. Clever blend of police procedural, forensic science, mystery, and sci fi.


Loved the narrator too, he nailed both the practical and weird aspects of the story. I was very pleased with this first book of the series. Look forward to listening to the next book. 


Warning - there are some moderately graphic descriptions of murder victims, a violently killed dog, and some bad language.

Caveat Emptor: The Secret Life of an American Art Forger


by Ken Perenyi


read by Dan Butler


"It is said that the greatest con man in the world is the one who has never been caught—and here for the first time is the astonishing story of America’s most accomplished art forger


Ten years ago, an FBI investigation in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York was about to expose a scandal in the art world that would have been front-page news in New York and London.


After a trail of fake paintings of astonishing quality led federal agents to art dealers, renowned experts, and the major auction houses, the investigation inexplicably ended, despite an abundance of evidence collected. The case was closed and the FBI file was marked “exempt from public disclosure.”

Now that the statute of limitations on these crimes has expired and the case appears hermetically sealed shut by the FBI, this book, Caveat Emptor, is Ken Perenyi’s confession. It is the story, in detail, of how he pulled it all off.

Glamorous stories of art-world scandal have always captured the public imagination. However, not since Clifford Irving’s 1969 bestselling Fake has there been a story at all like this one. Caveat Emptor is unique in that it is the first and only book by and about America’s first and only great art forger.


And unlike other forgers, Perenyi produced no paper trail, no fake provenance whatsoever; he let the paintings speak for themselves. And that they did, routinely mesmerizing the experts in mere seconds.

In the tradition of Frank Abagnale’s Catch Me If You Can, and certain to be a bombshell for the major international auction houses and galleries, here is the story of America’s greatest art forger. "




My comments:


I wasn't really all that interested in the world of art forgery but this book drew me in. The realistic depictions of the era, the world of the shady, and the art world were engaging. Some of his stories involving real people are very entertaining to hear, like having a fascinating rogue at a dinner party.


I don't know if I would ever wish to hang out with any of these folks, but hearing about their world was worth the listen. The reader was excellent, low key and yet conveying the hair raising day to day existence of the art forger, and of being a marginal person in the heart of NYC.

I recently went to a friend's house, and noticed he had posted a big sign that said, “DANGER. BEWARE OF DOG.” I saw his lazy old hound dog lying on the sidewalk next to the porch. I asked my friend, “Why did you post that sign? Rufus isn't vicious. He wouldn't hurt a fly.” My friend said, “I know. Before that sign everyone kept tripping over him.”

Audio Book recommendation of the day ...

The Martian

by Andy Weir (Author), R. C. Bray (Narrator)


"Remember Man Plus, Frederik Pohl’s award-winning 1976 novel about a cyborg astronaut who’s sent, alone, to Mars?


Imagine, instead, that the astronaut was just a regular guy, part of a team sent to the red planet, and that, through a series of tragic events, he’s left behind, stranded and facing certain death. That’s the premise of this gripping and (given its subject matter) startlingly plausible novel.


The story is told mostly through the log entries of astronaut Mark Watney, chronicling his efforts to survive: making the prefab habitat livable and finding a way to grow food, make water, and get himself off the planet. Interspersed among the log entries are sections told from the point of view of the NASA specialists, back on Earth, who discover that Watney is not dead (as everyone assumed) and scramble together a rescue plan.


There are some inevitable similarities between the book and the 1964 movie Robinson Crusoe on Mars, but where the movie was a broad sci-fi adventure, the novel is a tightly constructed and completely believable story of a man’s ingenuity and strength in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Riveting. --David Pitt "




My comment - Spellbinding and wonderfully entertaining story. The audio book is better than a movie. I was invested in the characters, fascinated by the science, amazed at the complex solutions to life threatening problems. Mostly I was just crazy about the main character, Mark Watney. His resilience, humor, ingenuity, humanness, and courage made him someone I actually cared about.


Warning - This book has swearing, sometimes a lot of swearing. There is also frank talk about human bodily functions. Aside from that it's G rated. Too bad they didn't make a second alternate G rated edition of the book toning down the bad words so that teens could read it, (kind of like they do with some music albums). This reminded me of the science fiction of my youth, and I just loved it. Highly recommended.
