What are you reading this week of October 29, 2017?
I'm reading Broken Things by G.S. Wright, who is my mailman. I've known for a while that he is a (self) published sci fi author but only now have been able to get a hold of one of his books. It's quite good, about the future in which there are no more children, only androids. At 149 pages I expect to finish it today or tomorrow then I will undertake the 793 pages of The Harry Bosch Novels by Michael Connelly. This is a compilation of three of his books, The Black Echo, The Black Ice and The Concrete Blonde. I'm looking forward to it being an enjoyable read. I just hope I don't drop it on my foot. Sucker must weigh 5 pounds!
Have a calm, safe and fun Halloween, every'body'. (I'm keeping my hopes high that we won't be under martial law or something by then, otherwise I'm gonna be stuck with an enormous lot of candy.) Special thoughts for you Eastcoasters in the current storm path.

Was quite a story; had some interesting twists.
I, too, will look into that movie. Thanks. 
It's actually called The Lincoln lawyer and my library has it. Yay! 
I do do a lot of 12 oz elbow curls. Hopefully that will help. 
I love that I just found this: Turtles All the Way Down. The expression is an illustration of the concept of Anavastha in Indian philosophy, and refers to the defect of infinite regress in any philosophical argument. Contrary to most extant western references, it is not a popular Hindu belief. Rather, it is a widely accepted principle in Indian philosophy, commonly used to reject arguments for the creator God or "unmoved mover".
No Angel is, as British Good Housekeeping wrote, an absorbing page-turner, packed with believable characters and satisfyingly extreme villains, eccentrics, and manipulators. 
And then, from Zelazny: A band of men on a colony planet have gained control of technology. With it, they have given themselves immortality and godlike powers, and they rule their world as the gods of the Hindu pantheon.
Great choices, all!
McKibben has an earlier work that sounds great, as well. The Age of Missing Information. “By turns humorous, wise, and troubling . . . a penetrating critique of technological society.” Glad you brought him to our attention.
Sure were a lot of happy people out and about last night.
I posted about it back around the time of the eclipse, https://upload.democraticunderground.com/119310153 A must-read for sure.
I only got a few kids so I have leftovers galore. I live in a small town but they do a Trick or Treat Main Street thing and I drove past that while it was going on and I'd swear half the town was there. I guess they got so much there they decided it wasn't worth walking the streets after. It was still fun, though. Went around to a few neighbors' places and swapped candy bars, had a beer, enjoyed decorations. It was nice. 
Our little village has Halloween on the Square and EVERYONE turns out for it. For many years, our spay/neuter group set up a table and passed out spay/neuter info along with tons of candy. One of our members brought her sweet little dog who loved dressing up in costumes. It was a labor of love and we all had a good time. It was time for someone else to take on that mission, but no one stepped up, and our member with the performing dog moved out of town, so we just hung up the towel. Sad that no one would step up to carry on, 
but there is a new wave of interested young folks coming up~~~~
I remembered THAT, though, because I love her so much and was quite excited about this new book. I DID have to use the search function to find the post. You were pretty busy back then, too.
Aww, that's sad but hopefully the youngsters will revive it What I see in many kids these days gives me hope for the future. Speaking of dogs............
This was at a house a few blocks from mine. These guys had their entire yard filled with stuff like this. It was marvelous.
Someone who read those books and could answer your query here. I like when that happens.
