Reviews
Yochanan = The Uplift War by David Brin (3rd book of series) the books are thematically related. Uplifted chimpanzees. Really thorough. Fully self contained (don’t need to read the others). There’s apparently three more. Highly recommend. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Uplift_War
Rick = Blue Eye Samurai is a gorgeous, American-made adult animated tale (8 parts) on Netflix. Incredible visuals, compelling main character, _extremely_ bloody. Summed as: American director & writer watched everything Kurosawa ever did, then decided to do Kill Bill meets Yentl. Highly watchable, has been renewed for more later, already. Could wish the story line were less predictable, but nobody's perfect. Feels not entirely (or very, really) Japanese, but made with care. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Eye_Samurai
Rumor of the Week: For a hoppin' good time, attend WSFS's next Business Meeting in Glasgow.
