Featured What books will you start 2016 with?

I did not see any denial that the book was not a self-help book.

By criticizing a book someone is reading, you are, by extension, criticizing the person.

 

What could have been an edifying and pleasant thread has now been turned into a childish and hostile interaction. What did not need to happen is the blasting of what someone else listed they will read.

 

Correction: an excellent movie.

You should check out The Martian.

 

I saw it in a very noisy Chinese theater. Everyone thinks it's their living room and they feel free to carry on loud conversation --continually. But now and then I tried to view the movie. I thought it was a good product. I didn't note the cussing so much. I don't hear cussing in English at all while here. That's a plus.

 

Continuing through Karl Barth's "Church Dogmatics".

 

You've seen a movie three times in less than two weeks? There's some time and money you'll never get back again.

 

Let me guess--$35 for three tickets, perhaps some munchies to go with it. Maybe $45 spent on going to the same movie three times and seven hours spent sitting in a theater. Not my gig.

 

Perhaps this should be the reply by those who respond to your next plea for financial, job, and personal relationship advice.

 

"What we have here is a failure to communicate!"

 

Now that's original.

 

So three movies at $12 each, munchies at the theater, perhaps $5 each time, then buy the DVD for $24.99. About $75 spent to see the same movie four times. That doesn't strike you as a waste of money?
