"December is a bit quieter in the world of books being adapted into films, but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality."

The founding fathers: Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.
"Despite a pessimistic tone at the beginning and end of his career, Jules Verne is considered the first representative of a "positive" science fiction. In a more nuanced approach, Herbert George Wells uses science fiction to better describe the human condition at the dawn of the 20th century.".

The Experience Machine

What are you reading today
What do you carry with you today
Mine is the "Oeuvres de Malherbe", a French edition of Malherbe's complete poetry published by "La Renaissance du Livre", Paris, in 1946. It is about the size of a pocket book, 230 pages long. Very easy to carry around.
It's in excellent condition & flipping through its 80 years old pages, one almost feels like if, back then, people wanted the stuff they made to last. But that would be stupid. Better sell people stuff, books included, that will break apart after a few years and will have to be replaced with a new one, right
Malherbes poetry is not reputed to be the most lyrical nor the most crazy one but Ive been wanting to give it a shot for a long time and recently happened to find this neat little edition in a thrift shop, next to piles of much more recent books whose main selling point must have been their shiny cover.
The poem in the 2nd photo, dated 1600, is titled 'Intention to leave a lady/Who satisfied him only with promises' in which he is telling a lady that, no matter how beautiful she is if she keeps on promising him more only to repeatedly find excuses to not deliver, he will leave her for good. I have no idea how it ended up between those two but it seems to me not much has changed during that time. Save maybe that today he would post it on TikTok
MIAM !

November 2025 Wrap-Up
!
2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke. Its plot was inspired by several short stories optioned from Clarke, primarily "The Sentinel" (1951) and "Encounter in the Dawn" (1953). (Wikipedia)
I'm reconsidering my view on burnings, it just needs new focus. We need to burn every dystopian take, every text about the horrors of power abuse, all documentary evidence of the worst crimes of the past -
- since everything points to the idiots in charge adopting every stupid action, every brutal inclination, and every shitty plan of the past from any media and meant as a warning. Better to burn it all than give the fascists more road maps /s (sort of)
For a lover this seems like the end of the world.
