Luc Jacquet having done the Penguins not Burns - the accuracy of filmed
documentaries in general is becoming suspect like in general all of them by
everybody!?!
How about the accuracy of non fiction books on the bookshelf are they still
good?
Speakers on Lecture circuit OK?

I think non-fiction had turned out to be not what its cracked up to be.
We can still trust fiction.

I'm reading Agatha Christie Murder on the orient express.
If I like it she has 999 other books I can read till the year 2525.
