News and Reviews

My Dears,


Happy Monday. If such a thing is possible.


While awake this morning at 3am I continued reading 
Unbroken, the biography of Louis Zamperini: an Olympian, a castaway adrift at sea after his plane crashes into the Pacific, and then as a POW in Japan during WWII. The experiences described in the book, specifically his tale of survival following brutal treatment by his captors, makes for a gripping, painful tale. The movie got moderately awful reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (I haven’t seen it) but the book is worth your time.

Here are a few other items of note from around the world this week:
