    I saw the movies. Probably saved me a ton of reading.

    Easily the worst writing about guns and action in general that I've ever read. I realize that not everyone is a gun person, but it's not like how they work is folklore. If you're an author and you're going to write about guns a lot, it's probably worth an afternoon to learn how they work.

    One of the better books I read took place on a pirate ship and the author came right out in a note and said, "I don't know shit about ships, I asked some people who did to help me write the parts about boats, sorry for the stuff I screwed up." That goes a long way.

    One of my bucket list items is to own a monkey.

    My mom had a spider monkey as a kid, in Wheat Ridge. It hated men and would sit on top of the ceiling fan and throw things at people or pull their hair when they walked by.

    Perhaps some monkey therapy, even more importantly, some monkey gun laws that would prevent anyone being harmed by a monkey with a weapon.

    NHP's are one the most dangerous 2 legged creatures a human would ever encounter. Throw in they can literally rip you limb from limb in a stand up no weapons match. I'd give them a wide berth if i had to.

    A Gentleman In Moscow, by Amor Towles. I can't remember a book I've enjoyed more in quite some time.

    Re: Curios George...I had the opportunity to look at one of them again a while back. Wow, not nearly as exciting as I remember. Beat the heck out of the Dick an Jane series, though. "See Dick, see Dick run." Pretty heady stuff.
