I can’t tell you what exactly it is about fungi that I love so much. I feel like that Simpson’s meme of Marge holding up the potato: I just think they’re neat!

Yet they’re clever and adaptable enough to make you wonder what might happen if one day a mushroom or a mold got it into it’s non-mind to kill us all....
It did great commercially as well. Awesome Mix Vol. 1 is a top-of-the-charts, certified Gold album.

Let’s take a look at some fun facts you probably didn’t know about this great compilation soundtrack. Fun facts about the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack It Has a Role in the Film In the movie Peter Quill, AKA Star-Lord, has a Walkman that was given to him by his mother, along with a mixtape of some of her favorite songs....
The main appeal to me is the puzzle an unreliable narrator presents. Are the events really happening like the narrator tells us they are? Can we trust their recollection? Are they coloring the way we view other characters in the book? When one individual is acting as your window into this fictional world, the reader’s perception is at the mercy of the narrator, and I happen to find that fascinating....

“The retired languages teacher, originally from Maryhill, Glasgow, said: “I was in the study and for some reason I just picked up the book. “I opened it because it was covered in dust. “There it was dated 1894. “The front page had been stamped 12 November, 1934.” “Um hi, hello.

A few years ago, standing in the top floor of Sir John Soane’s museum in London, I looked at the Shakespeare folios Soane collected over the course of his life, a feat which today would be very difficult to match. They were beautiful books no matter which way I looked at them, and it was clear to me that their provenance, age, and author all had a role to play in their value....
In pre-pandemic times, I also brought a book to my yoga studio so I could read it while sitting criss-cross applesauce, speeding my way through a chapter while the people around me stretched and centered themselves. I’d place it reluctantly to the side when it was time for class to begin. I have seen my yoga instructor side-eye my “I’d rather be reading” tank top. The truth is, I’d rather be doing both at once....
