I agree that kids aren't being psychologically destroyed by their constant connection to the internet, but I would argue that their ability to think deeply and more importantly to *read* deeply is being highly compromised. Though it might not be destroying them psychologically, it is a contributing factor to the destruction of intelligence and of their ability to deal with true complexity and nuance.

Great episode! I'm reading The Moonstone right now! It's a fascinating mystery designed like Iain Pear's An Instance of the Fingerpost. Different narrators comment on the same series of events and with each subsequent story-teller the we learn parts of the mystery. Well written, fun read!

East of Eden was great! It’s the only Steinbeck I’ve read but it was a page turner. I’m here for Wilkie Collins too. I’ll admit that the ones he wrote on drugs are poor, but if you’ve heard of it it’s one of the good ones. For Victober I recommend The Law and the Lady. A nice short mystery that will teach you something about law in Scotland and has a brave female detective.

Wifedom was on the Women’s Prize non-fiction longlist, so I’m sure that’s why your colleague ordered it. I saw the ebook for a dollar and read it. The author definitely had an agenda and the book could have been shorter, but I was interested in Eileen’s story and finished it. She had an important job during the Spanish Civil War and was in contact with interesting people. She died tragically and her death pointed out the poor health conditions for women at that time. I hope someone checks it out.

"Kafka, the story goes, encountered a little girl in the park where he went walking daily. She was crying. She had lost her doll and was desolate. Kafka offered to help her look for the doll and arranged to meet her the next day at the same spot. Unable to find the doll he composed a letter from the doll and read it to her when they met. 'Please do not mourn me, I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will write you of my adventures.' This was the beginning of many letters. When he and the little girl met he read her from these carefully composed letters the imagined adventures of the beloved doll. The little girl was comforted. When the meetings came to an end Kafka presented her with a doll. She obviously looked different from the original doll. An attached letter explained 'My travels have changed me.' Many years later, the now grown girl found a letter stuffed into an unnoticed crevice in the cherished replacement doll. In summary it said: *Every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form."

Steve is probably right that the Villeneuve Dune is bloated, over-cooked and over serious. And Chalamet would have been hooked by the drug reference. I don't know if I would ever have a chance to view the TV series. But I actually do like the David Lynch - that is - the Delaurentiis film. Which has been dramatically re-edited on KZread by 'Spicediver''. 1984 Dune has 'personality' and character, I think the casting of the 1984 Dune was mostly inspired - Kyle MacLachlan was not FIFTY years old, and I'm sure, real hair - not good for desert dwellers. But the story is beautifully related in Lynch's adaptation - and the re-edit - recommended -Andrew Mackenna, Christchurch, New Zealand 5/24

I agree that kids aren't being psychologically destroyed by their constant connection to the internet, but I would argue that their ability to think deeply and more importantly to *read* deeply is being highly compromised. Though it might not be destroying them psychologically, it is a contributing factor to the destruction of intelligence and of their ability to deal with true complexity and nuance.
