Jacob Elordi reading Weak in Comparison to Dreams while he’s being made up as Frankenstein, reposted by the wonderful translator Max Lawton. In the original novel, the Creature reads Paradise Lost, Plutarch, and some other classics, so I'm in good company

I lived a couple hundred feet from Battleground National Cemetery, one of the smallest national cemeteries. Looking at the graves you see some PA and NY-born but mostly German and Irish-born, there having defended the capital from the direct attack of the Confederacy. www.nps.gov/places/battl...

"Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Watch the big freeze slip, crack the jackpot, get out of control
If you put yourself down, you'll never win, get out of that hole
Keep your mind open, your head up, you'll never ever get old"

+1 for Lumberjanes. Lightfall is also a good adventure series and the dialogue might be at the right level. timprobert.com/books For more advanced English, we enjoyed the Cleopatra in Space series and a truly great book, Nimona.

The Wounded World: W. E. B. Du Bois and the First World War is extremely good. Brilliant portrait of Du Bois as a writer and an academic. And wow did I learn a thing or two.

But it was the second part of the book, which engages criticisms of the movement, that was most helpful to me. Edmonds takes them seriously, fairly, and in turn, while still leaving me with a sense of urgency around the question of what I should do in times when I have more than I really need.
