Your Behavior Will Be Monitored by Justin Feinstein
"WOWWWWWWWW

As a woman in tech, this one hit close to home, and both horrified and astounded me… AI is scary. Especially generative AI, and perhaps this book takes place in the not-so-distant future or perhaps it’s eons away, but regardless it feels as" Read more of this review »
Foundling Fathers by Meg Elison
"Very well done, nice and short. Definitely has a vibe like The Boys from Brazil, but it's not just a thriller like that and is mostly from the boys' viewpoint. Characters are well drawn and the premise is expanded upon nicely." Read more of this review »

Hammond,IN :)
My co-worker did not believe i knew you - so no cool factor-i was not going for that. I was trying to talk about her history, while they were focusing on the usual E! gossip crap. They then moved onto Brad Pitt's lip hair-i kid you not! I work to save lives, and they giggle about this stuff.


message 4: by Rick

Rick Glad I could help with your "cool" factor among your friends. Don't they have more interesting things to concern themselves with?

Noran Miss Pumkin December 6, 2008

LOS ANGELES - Bettie Page, one of the most notable models of the 20th century, is hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles.

Mark Roesler, Page's agent and attorney, says the 85-year-old is "critically ill."

He says she suffered a heart attack Tuesday and remains hospitalized.

He would not comment further on her condition.
