Very ordinary day. Bought three books. I read today - "Divorce American Style." Started another - "Drum." The other is "Brave New World."
"Divorce American Style" was made into a movie starring Dick Van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds. "Drum" was written by the same author as "Mandingo" (Kyle Onstott), with a similar storyline from the same era.
"Brave New World" is Aldous Huxley's 1932 masterpiece, which I read in high school but couldn't tell you much about right now other than I really enjoyed it. But here's a sentence from a synopsis I found on Amazon: "Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites." Hmmm . . .
