What I finished reading
Lord Hornblower, in which C. S. Forester was not playing around. ( Read more... )
I bought TV’s M*A*S*H: The Ultimate Guide Book by Ed Solomonson and Mark O’Neill. I don't remember how it started but I went down a rabbit hole of looking up the show's stuntmen and stuntwomen. In those days stunt people were not listed in a show or a movie's credits, a fact that my grandpa liked to complain about. The book's description mentioned commentary from a stuntman so I bought it. His name is Michael Rodgers and he had lines so he was credited as an actor.
Lots of fun facts and interviews in the book. I knew Tumblr would love and hate Larry Gelbart's (I assume tongue-in-cheek) idea of what happened to the characters. “Hawkeye would have become a right wing conservative. BJ would be on this third marriage. Trapper John and his wife would be celebrating their 40th. Houlihan would be living with a woman partner. Radar would be a taxidermist. Klinger would be a Congressman. Potter would be deceased. So would I.”
What I'm reading now
Doomsday Morning by C. L. Moore, a standalone sci-fi novel from 1957.
