TPBM is something of an oenophile.

[harman/kardon]

False.

TPBM is not familiar with the latest novel of T.C. Boyle ("Blue Skies")

 

[noogies]

Quite true.

TPBM will give a brief capsule of the above-mentioned work, without giving too much away, of course.

 

[harman/kardon]

Two families, one part of them living in California, the other part living in Florida. Both sides are confronted with the familiar signs of climate change - drought in California, floodings in Florida.

The essential message of the novel, so far I got it, is that the human race in general, and single persons are completely helpless when it comes to the horrible challenge of climate change. Americans still don't get the punchline of climate change. They are just not ready for this situation. A very oppressive novel.

TPBM loves the sound of rain on a roof.

 

[noogies]

DNU:Thanks, Chris! Very intriguing. I would like to read it.

And I love the sound of rain on the roof. It is a sound we're hearing too infrequently this year.

TPBM continues to play a game they don't find especially enjoyable.

 

[old_tv_nut]

Well, I reduce the frequency of participation, but may not stop forever.

TPBM can't count the number of possible counting games.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]
