Hey, congratulations, Mike -- that's great news...hope you have a long, healthy, and happy retirement, and are able to find lots of time to read (but don't forget to have adventures *off* the page, too!).

Congratulations on your retirement. Today, you started a new chapter with a blank page. Question is, what story will you write on that page?

Bowling Pin A.jpg Turn out the lights the party's over, let the wild rumpus begin! Today is my first day of retirement, 41 years as a Librarian, 33 years at Henrico County Public Library. What a long, strange, wonderful trip it has been!!

I just saw this over on the collectors forum and wanted to share it here. RIP Ned Dameron. One of the best and you will be missed.

I think I would just call these fold-outs. I don't really know if there is a correct name or not. I'd be interested to hear from others as well.

What do you call books with flaps like these. The two books I have are Heather, The Totality by Matthew Weiner and The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami. I tried searching with various terms and had no results so I am now posting here for an answer.

Anyone else tired of Superhero/Comic Book movies? I'm seeing commercials for Black Adam and it's not doing anything for me. As a sub genre to action films they may be fine but I greatly miss dialogue, story, and semblance of reality in my movies.

I feel like these style of movies have turned straight into CGI fests with little beyond them. Watching the commercial it's like watching a video game with actors faces stuck unto the characters.

Yeah, I almost fell asleep watching some CGI movie that was nothing but explosions, chases, more explosions...I need a story, not a video game.
