OK so I Googled it, and got it wrong ,sorry.

But if you want a very hard to read (for me at least), discussion on what land ownership has done to us as a race, then I urge you to read, Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World, by Simon Winchester.

I had to read it in bits, because it made me so sad and cross, I needed light relief from time to time.

I’ve always mused about how different life would be if the settlers in America had adopted the native peoples’ we encountered relationship to the land.

Thanks for the book recommendation, @Giles .

You will get that in spades in the book. Fiji, Australia, New Zealand etc etc etc etc

@GraemeE , I'm not going lie, I haven't paid much attention to anything he's done in the past 20 years. But, I did enjoy The Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic. So, I'm optimistic...

Anyone see the Phoenician Scheme yet? I haven't finished thinking about it but it's brilliant, and somehow the restraint of the performances makes them more sexy...

We had a hot and humid one today so the Mrs and I decided to hide away in the theater and watch two matinees. We did Superman and F1. Supes was solid but might have gone in with too high of expectations. F1 was a blast. The script is familiar but still works and visually wows.
