Ever read a book and have no one to talk to about it? Here is a place you can!

This is a digital bookclub to share personal favorites to a wide audience.

Feel free to share passages, underlinings, and marginalia. Do you have notes? It can be fun to share how you interacted with a text though mnemonic and attentive markings. Did you write or produce art in memory of a good book? Also welcome to share. The point is to keep good books alive in mind.

Some books are utterly obscure while others are well-known classics. Both are welcome here. Visitors would have more to say about the familiar but you also have the opportunity to inform others about the unfamiliar.

If you also are interested in intellectually stimulating and quality film, you can also share here since a really good movie shows like a masterful narrative.

Enjoy!

Vernon Florida is amazing... originally called Nub City it was supposed to explore Vernon Florida the town with the largest concentration of injuries causing limb loss and the resulting insurance payouts.

The residents caught wind and threatened his life, so he retooled the documentary to show a slice of old Florida for better or worse.

I swear to God I've met lots of those type of Florida men in my youth.

Many good documentaries by Morris. I think of him when it's said reality is stranger than fiction. Often is.
