2 Watched: A Man Called Otto on Netflix

I loved the novel (A Man Called Ove by Swedish writer Fredrik Backman), and Tom Hanks is an excellent Otto.

Some absolute gems in this post. 

4 Reading: Fathers - Jon Winokur

A collection of reminiscences about famous, infamous, and fictional fathers from their children, with contributions by Candice Bergen, Angelica Huston, Thurgood Marshall, Calvin Coolidge, and other notables. Five dollars from Little Red Bookshop.

5 Listened to: Rammstein - Sehnsucht

The Rammstein albums are coming up soon on Goo Goo G'Joob.

Overtime: Arthur Schopenhauer

"The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. - A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short."
